Building short segments of elevators isn't always the best strategy. I tried with 3 columns and only 2 floors high elevator shafts. Also, I had 4 of those and 1 staff elevator (this one 2 columns wide--like Bobsson's). It made things worse with guests complaining even more. And I went broke: from 6m to negative numbers, the big elevators alone costing 193k per month. It seems that guests take into account the sum of all the time they spend waiting, and not the longest period they had to wait (check the number of lifts while clicking a guest). The trick works fine for turning some profit and building some rep, as long as you don't build too high. But if your aim is to reach 1k rep, the only way I've found is with a 0 stars hotel.

Is it even mathematically feasible to get past two stars? All they do by this point is ask for more elevators and the hotel is already half elevator shaft.

Is there any way to fix my maids' aversion to the first floor? They'd all rather clean rooms with no visible trash than clean up the multiple garbage bags littering the first floor of my hotel.

3 million dollars and a 48 story hotel (meaning i made a bunch of elevators and put one room on the 48th story) more importantly however my hotel being 99% elevators, I get astonishingly few elevator complaints, only one every 3-4 seconds!

Do not do the staggered elevator trick with the capacious elevator, you can extend the shaft as high as you want without extra cost, but starting a new shaft cost an additional $25000 plus the upkeep.

So I completed it (5/5 stars) on November 21st of 2028 and it has yet to give me my bade. Must I wait another 20 years? >:C

LOL! I just played through the game and never bothered to look at the comments until I completed it. So funny that people already commented what I was about to comment, about the elevators xD

@Dubesor
How dare you! Maybe his house had burned down, and he needed a place to stay while his insurance found him a new place to stay!
Maybe the night at the disco was to forget his wife had died in the fire that night! :O

Whoops. Accidentally destroyed an elevator shaft & a bunch of rooms. What do the guys in the trapped floors and rooms do?
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
A thing or two about elevators: shorter shafts move faster. These people don't need more shafts, they need more elevator cabins, but they're too stupid to tell it this way. They complain when they wait for the elevator, that doesn't mean elevator is crowded, but, for example, it's way up there in the sky. So the possible solution for the elevator problem is S-shaped shaft with each section, for example, six or five floors tall. It moves rapidly, they almost don't wait for it and there is more elevator cabins than they could imagine. Sorry if I'm not the first to guess it.

Those people just paid 1,2k to watch a movie?...Guess when the duration of the movie is 2 weeks that price might be apropiate...

So I have two laundries. I thought "Basically, when one is crowded, these little people should go to another one."
No, they want THIS laundry, not the one two floors below. Not the one where is literally nobody. They want the one that is full. And then they complain that it's full.
They probably are doing that on purpose =D

having a reception at the top high of the skyscraper i bet makes the clients really happy, only 49 floors to check in :D

"classy pool has a small queue"... Well, i think id rather a small one than a large! Got like 4 columns of elavators... and one for the staff... Why dont i make 98% elavators!? Lol.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
a trick. do not buy enough rooms to get to the next rank until you are positive that you can buy all the (useful) upgrades.

Hmm it keeps telling me reception isn't fast enough. But buying one more reception doesn't seem to do anything. Is that just something we can't do anything with? Great advice from Bobsson btw.

"Excuse me madam, if you don't wish to queue in this reception there is another reception upstairs. Zigzag up to floor 16 using the elevators and walk through the arcade and the bowling alley, then reception is right in front of you."
"Why thank you! That is much more convenient than waiting in line for a few more seconds!"

I wonder went through their minds when they comment about my hotel being freaking awesome but only giving it one star because I don't have a certain room. And on that note, why do these kind of people keep coming here expecting that room? >:U

"I've heard you have open rooms." "No sir not yet, we need to construct an elevator first." "Perfect, I'll take one of those."

I fired this one maid and now she flickers and wanders the halls occasionally vacuuming a bit and being helpful even though I am not paying her.
