Characters
Jamie
Jamie is the bellend of Hotel Trubble and probably the one with the most common sense, he does at some parts, have a lack of confidence and panics. He also does embarrassing things when he is in a panic. He is always the first person to yell "Noooooo!" when its time to panic. He was also like Sally, nominated, but for being the best bellboy. He is sensitive, has strong emotions like the time Verity Lumiere kissed him. Jamie is a good character and always means well. He is probably the most normal of the threesome. It is shown on several occasions that he has romantic feelings for Sally - for example in 'Super Trubble' he shouts 'Don't hurt the woman I love!' after Lionel shoots her with an arrow, only to correct himself moments later. Sally and Jamie are tecnically married after an accident with a mix-up between a fake and real vicar. It's shown that he is very over-enthusiastic about his work; in one episode it is noted that he never wears anything other than his uniform.
Sally
Sally is the receptionist of the hotel. She can be rather naughty and arrogant at times, but she means well. She makes herself look very glamorous and be cool. In one episode she tells Lenny, "Good is Gossip magazine and bad is orange nail polish". In one of the episodes she gets nominated for the person with the best shoes. She has a reasonable amount of common sense and thinks she is the best at acting, dancing and being odd-looking. She did though, only get as far as playing the sheep in her Cinderella play at school. Sally is not thoughtless at times, arrogant but has a good heart. In one episode, she says to Jamie "you rescued me." and she acts really flirty towards him and then when she answers the phone, she gives him a big smile.
Lenny
Leonard Lemon, better known as Lenny, is the least intelligent of the trio. He does all sorts of embarrassing things like asking people for help when they do not know what he is talking about. However, quite a few times, he has messed up things for Sally and Jamie, like the time when their hotel was to be demolished. Lenny's father worked at the council and when Lenny asked him if there had been a demolition for their hotel, his father said no, it was next door. When Lenny is asked to do something, he often takes the phrase too literally. Lenny, Jamie and Sally put in so much effort on the day of the demolition, and achieved hardly anything. Lenny is a humorous but a silly character at the hotel. At the beginning of every episode, Jamie says that Lenny is 'a man of many talents' but they just don't know what his talents are.
Dolly
Dolly is Mr Trubble's fiancée who first appeared in Series two. She is seen as a posh lady and is effectively the manager of the hotel. In her first episode there was a mix up which Jamie and Sally thought they were manager. She is constantly looking for new business ideas including a toilet made out of flowers and exclusive parties at the hotel. Dolly is seen as rather unintelligent and is not liked by Mrs Poshington, Jamie and Sally. She seems to get on best with Lenny as they act in a similar way, though Lenny always has to carry out her orders for her crazy business ventures. In Series 3 it is discovered Dolly used to be big in Japan - under the name Yolly Dolly.
Mrs Poshington
Mrs Poshington is described by Jamie as a regular pest that never leaves. The first thing she does in the morning is comes downstairs with complaints, often with no logical answer such as: "Why is there sunlight?" She claims to be a marathon runner, running the London Marathon 30 years ago (in 2009) even though it was established in 1981, the Queen's cousin, a former actress and a grandmother. In a few episodes, she helps Sally, Lenny and Jamie with solutions to their problems. She has great determination and gets things when she asks for them. Mrs Poshington seems to be demanding, but kind-hearted and filled with will power. She loses her fortune in Series 2 and is allowed to stay at the hotel as long as she is the new cleaner. In "Time Trubble" it is revealed she's had 8 husbands; all of which died in suspicious circumstances. She is not a great cleaner as it shows in episodes 13 (4011) Mrs.p's video shows her breaking varios items.
General Sirius Poshington
General Sirius Poshington is the fake stuffed cat belonging to Mrs. Poshington. She does not seem to realize that he is not real and she pushes it on a wagon. Mrs Poshington says things like: "Sirius doesn't like running, he likes the cycling trips we go on together". She even asks Sally to look after it for her when she goes out and calls frequently during this period to ask how he is in series 1 and 2. In "Fashion Phonies" Jamie says Sirius will never walk again.
Mr. Trubble
Mr. Trubble owns Hotel Trubble and calls very often. He does not use a normal phone. Every time, he uses a special red phone with a siren. Once, he threatens to fire Sally, Jamie and Lenny if they don't give him a good birthday party. Mrs. Poshington is responsible and is told that she will lose her room if the party isn't good. In one episode the Trubble diamond is brought in by an impostor who tries to steal it. He first tries to accuse Sally and then Lenny. Mr. Trubble does not have a particular personality as he is never heard or shown.
Daisy
Daisy is the new receptionist, first appearing in Series 3 'American President'. She is an elephant kidnapper, on the run from the police. She states that Sally found out her elephant secret, thus prompting her to post Sally to Guatemala so she's not found out. The rest of the characters are unaware of all of this, despite regular elephant noises coming from room 360. In 'Fashion Phonies' the characters receive a postcard from Sally saying 'Don't trust the receptionist!'. Daisy tells them it's Guatemalan for 'ahh, lovely time'.
