    <![CDATA[After any harrowing struggle, it is nice to consider  checking into a hotel for a rest. In fact, this might be just the  break Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire could use after their  wearying deep-sea adventure.    <p><p>A hotel can be a good choice for any family vacation. With so many  floors, such a variety of rooms, and a curious array of guests,  spending time in the safety of the right hotel can be the perfect  learning environment for children of any age. A keen researcher like  Klaus, an adept inventor like Violet, and a sharp-toothed culinary  master like Sunny are all sure to find engaging diversions during  their stay.</p>    <p><p>Regardless of how they pass their time while at a hotel, the three  siblings will be sure to take in all the interesting sights and sounds  -- and write them down -- just in case this episode turns out to be  the darkest yet in a series of unfortunate events.</p></p></p>]]>

Yang jelas, tokoh-tokoh dari buku 1 sampai 11 yang berhubungan dengan tiga bersaudara Baudelaire, bermunculan di seri ke-12 ini.
