A Sad Day for the Beat Generation - Beat Hotel Owner Passed Away

I am incredibly saddened by this news. Chris and I have stayed at the Beat several times have plans to stay at the sister hotel, The Lautner in April. I called Steve's cell phone 2 days ago to chat about a second group weekend this October. I thought it was odd that I got his voice mail. He ALWAYS answered! I'm sorry to think that will be the last time I hear his voice.

Steve was the most INCREDIBLE host. I say host and not proprietor because he made us feel like we were staying at the house of a good friend. Hi wit, incredible stories, sense of fun made The Beat our very favorite get away spot. I can't believe he will no longer be there make us feel so at home.

RIP, Steve. You will be greatly missed.
