, who used to work on a ferry; sister Isadora Rantanen, 14 years old and in love with the hotel competitor family's son; and Ingo Rantanen, is a big friend of animals and finds out there is a pig on the hotel, named Pyret. The Rantanens are struggling to keep the hotel running as a new more modern hotel, opened by the Grossman family, has started up nearby the highway. Many guests checked out after Ingo, one of the family members, accidentley told there was a pig on the hotel. A journalist arrived at the hotel and checked in, and was shortly after checked out after finding out there's barely no food, very old style and about the pig. She therefore stopped by the hotel sign on the alley leading to the hotel, adding "KN" before "orren", which turns out as "knorren" ("pigtail"). Many other planned guests therefore decided not to check in at the hotel. The Rantanens try their best to receive guests.
