help struggling privately-

Imhof, who bought the hotel

with his next-door neighbor

back in 2007 after it had been

closed for a year and a half.

pub before, but neither had

hotel or restaurant experience.

Today the Cambridge Hotel is

run by his daughters Shea and

Abigail. Imhof ’s wife Tina was

the one who applied to the TV

show in hopes of getting some

guidance for solving their

financial difficulties. People

who wish to be considered for a

stay in the hotel or for a dining

reservation during filming

should email cambridge-

[email protected]. While

hotel guests can stay for no

charge, diners will have to pay

for their own food and drink

bills. The Cambridge Hotel is
