this guy says the wait for the elevator was a bit disturbing. I'm pretty sure waiting for a week for one is a more than a bit disturbing

So, I watch a guy enter my hotel. He goes to his room, rides the elevator for a few days, walks into my arcade and destroys my machine, then has the nerve to go to my washing machine and break it also. He later rides elevator a few more days, packs his stuff and leaves. What a jerk.

My engineers are the dumbest, creepiest people ever. They're supposed to be fixing washing machines but instead they take the elevator and wait outside someone's room. o.o

If this was a real hotel it would be so confusing..
Oh, your at floor 49?
OKay first take the elevator beside us up to floor 4, then just beside where you get off you should see another that will take you up to floor 9. After that...
Customer complaints: I... I uh... I think you guys need more elevators..

"Hey Jimmy, wanna 5 star hotel?!" "...Er, yeah!" "Then fill the majority of the hotel with ELEVATORS! Trust me, it works."

I like how as you get more stars you get access to more things. The problem is if you dont get these things guests start getting mad that you dont have them. It shouldn't be a requirement that you build them but a bonus.

This crazy obsession with elevators is driving me insane. My hotel is basically just one big elevator-building now, and yet they are complaining about getting more of them.

In regards to the elevator issues: building only plain elevators seems to work much better than the high capacity/staff elevators, or any combo of the three. Also, staggering shorter elevator shafts instead of building long ones helps. Another technique (used in real life skyscrapers) is building one that goes up 5 floors, one that goes up 10, one that goes up 15, etc.

got an idea make a hotel when you buy a room you can make have stuff inside so people can have fun and their has to be kids in it for extra fun

Great sim game, good calculations, even though everyone complains about the elevators, very realistic. Would be nice to be able to destroy and elevator without destroying the whole shaft, even if it cost money to start a new shaft on the above floor. Would also be nice to be able to fire staff without having to track them down and click on them. I hired too many engineers in the beginning and they were expensive. I noticed someone said upgrades, which I think is a good idea, but being able to assign more than one employee to improve efficiency would be great. Would be cool to be able to change wages and room price too. My 2 cents.

There is one thing this game is missing: stairs. It would keep the people from complaining about elevators, and right now if there is a fire, everyone in my hotel except the receptionists is gonna die.

TO FIX THE ELEVATOR PROBLEM*****************
the reason it takes so long for people to get around is because most of you are probably using only single shafts, having it go from the ground to the top floor. if you've ever been in a big hotel, they stagger the elevators. i tried this and it worked fine for me, i had the whole screen filled. just make small shafts 6-12 floors tall, and make sure to put another shaft adjacent and two floors below the top of any other shaft. i did this, and on any one floor there were 6-7 elevators. this increased the traffic flow DRAMATICALLY, i literally had no complaints about the elevator. KEEP THIS COMMENT ALIVE IF YOU FOUND IT HELPFUL

these guys eat for 2 days, text their friends on the computer 1 day, play arcades 3 days, weight lift 5 days, and get on the elevator 10 days! DAMN and guess what? they spend300 centuries complaining about the elevator! DAMN

Tip: when they say they want more elevetors, it means they want to wait less, so you shouldn't build elevators higher than 5 or 6 floors. You can build them on top of the other, alternating between to columns! Summary:
BUILD MANY SMALL ELEVATORS!

All elevators and no rooms makes Dragon Lodge a dull hotel. All elevators and no rooms makes Dragon Lodge a dull hotel. All elevators and no rooms makes Dragon Lodge a dull hotel. Even after I build 10 shafts they still suggest I build more! WHY?! Half my hotel is elevators!

best results with elevators: Stairstep them 4 floors at a time. The guest only complain if they have to wait, not on how many they take, so force them to use 10 lifts to go each way to top floor and they will give you 3 thumbs up. Just make sure to have enough staff elevators or they will waste all their time on travel. Currently have 287 standard, 178 suites and 140 presidential with an 860 rating!

Over half of my hotel was just elevator shafts, yet they still want more. Do the guests go to a hotel not to stay in a room, but to ride elevators all day?

There should be a way to set like a work perimeter. Otherwise you end up with all the maids on the same floor going to the closest rooms with tiny bits of trash while the rooms higher or lower in the hotel pile with garbage and all the maids are following each other around. If there was a way to keep one or two maids on one floor, or set their patrol area, that would be nice.

Fun game but there are a couple of annoying things. The elevator situation. Serious... I have 8 elevator shafts and 1 staff elevator, it seems that unless my entire hotel is elevators, I can't please these guests. Next, I spend a fair amount of time waiting for money to come it. Please take away the pausing when I click out of the game, I wanted to use Excel to plan my hotel and couldn't. Lastly, how about some achievement or reasons to play after 5 stars? This game took less than 30 minutes to beat, I want some replayability...

if i had my own hotel, i think i know what mentality my engineers would have. Engineer: laundry machine broken?? smack the fu%*er with mah hammer!!!! Computer broken?? smack the fu%*er with mah hammer!!!!.....guest wont pay room fee??!! CUT TO Me: damnit 30 years no parole.

Needs to put in a better AI. Maids should organize themselves so not everyone is on the same floor. Guests should spread out to different rooms of the same facility. Kinda sucks to have your hotel downgraded because all the guests wouldnt walk one laundry/cafe/arcade/internet cafe etc over
