The boy and girl were in college. the boy wanders into a hotel (maybe looking for a job) where he sees the girl working there - I think in the front office. They become friendly. Turns out, girl's father owns that hotel (and many others) and he thinks she's out of his league.
I don't remember much else - I'm not sure whether the boy got the girl.
I realize that's not much to go on, but I've seen people come up with titles and authors with even less.
The Way You Make Me Feel by Jeremy Spencer.
The boy's flight home for Christmas is canceled, the dorms are closed, and he wanders in hoping to get a room.

That's it! Thank you very much, The Outsider. I marvel at you and other people who can remember things like that.
Honestly, PB, I've had that story saved on my hard drive for some time. One of my favorites, along with his Kiss at the End of the Rainbow.
