Once again, a quote from RockDetector:
Having quit the Hard Rock outfit REX, Mr Smith - the brother of STARZ vocalist Michael Lee Smith - turned solo, albeit with a far more Pop oriented direction.
And here it is, as promised, REX's debut album!
(Their second album are posted here earlier, look in the archives.)

tommycalton.com:
By 1977, Hotel signed their first recording contract with Mercury Records for a 45 single called "You'll Love Again". Thanks mostly to Dain Eric's efforts, the song charted. Even though the band showed promise, Mercury was noncommittal when it came a possible LP release. Hotel asked out of their contract and Mercury accepted.Once again the band was free to shop for a record company. In 1978, Dain Eric secured a deal for Hotel with the Scotti Brothers in Los Angeles. The Scotti Brothers were best known for their promotions of records within the industry. They could also secure a record deal for Hotel with a major label - which they did - with MCA. Hotel's debut album "Hotel" was released in the summer of 1979 with the first single "You've Got Another Thing Coming" followed by the Marc Phillips/Barry Mann song "Hold on to the Night."
RockReport says:
'An extremely smooth AOR band, HOTEL came across as an extremely laid back,
toothless unit with the self-titled debut album of 1979 vintage.'
I remember I first saw this album & band mentioned in the english paper Sounds, way back in the early 80's. Took quite some years to find it. I'm not disagreeng totally with RockDetectors statement, but not a bad album, just not a very rockin' one. But, as it's not an easy album to find, I'll share it with you anyway.
