How to not get "more elevators would be great!":
Don't build your elevators all the way up the tower, someone goes from floor 0 to floor 20, and noone can use it until the elevator comes back down. Have one shaft go all the way up (plus a service shaft), then 2-3 only going up the first 5 floors (where your reception/cafes/entertainments are), and another 2-3 going up from the highest service floor to where the rooms are. Or have one set of shafts going 1-4, 6-9, 11-14 etc, and another going 3-6, 7-11 etc. (you might need to do this twice). Much higher cost, but it's about the only way to get enough favor for 5*. (service elevators seem to work well enough without doing this, and when you're going for 5*, you can just hire a squadron of maids)
Think this is the simplest solution (in terms of peices) for Android (for a general solver) ?lvl=17&code=p12:3f3;p11:3f3;p13:3f3;c12:2f3;c11:2f2;c12:4f3;c12:7f3;c12:9f3;c12:10f3;c12:11f3;c12:12f3;c10:2f2;g10:3f1;y14:3f1;c9:4f1;c9:3f1;c9:2f2;c15:4f1;c15:3f1;c15:2f0;c14:2f0;c13:2f0;c12:8f3;q11:5f3;q12:5f3;q13:5f3;c12:6f3;b9:5f1;r15:5f1;q14:5f3;q10:5f3;
For one that works, but won't do a general pattern: ?lvl=17&code=p12:3f3;p11:3f3;c12:2f3;c12:4f3;c12:7f3;c12:9f3;c12:10f3;c12:11f3;c12:12f3;c12:8f3;c12:6f3;p13:3f3;r14:3f1;b10:3f1;c12:5f3;c10:2f2;c11:2f2;c14:2f0;c13:2f0;
Think the "no walkthough" bit just comes from clicking outside the game, (which seems to be what makes the TV guy appear), so just play through once, read the bits you get stuck on and remember (or print out) the walkthough, then do it again to complete
