Patricia is its savior, and she brims with understandable pride
at having the hotel back in her family. She also exudes love for

of Livingston. And after years of her hard work and that of her
son, Chris, painstakingly restoring and fixing the hotel's rooms,
she reopened it after restructuring the building as a condomini-
