I think you should be able to click somewhere out of the game without it pausing, because it gets boring just sitting there, staring at them, having nothing else to do..

I hate bowling! My hotel is great, and I have 4 bowling alleys, and then everyone decides to go to the same alley. I three alley's with 5% usage and one with 198% usage and my rating drops from 700 to 450 and now no one will stay at my hotel. I am doing something wrong, or does this need fixed?

The key is to build slowly. Don't build more rooms than you need for the next star rating. If you overdue it, you'll wind up needing excessive elevators and utilities to keep all the people somewhat happy, and you won't be making any profit.

Elevator solution: DO NOT have elevators that extend the entire height of your tower. Each elevator shaft should be 8-10 floors high. My setup is to have 8-height shafts. I use the 4 floors in the center of the shaft for hotel rooms. The 2 floors at the top of each shaft and the two floors at the bottom get restaurants/entertainment/etc, and overlap with a different shaft. For example, floors 7&8 have the top of one shaft and the bottom of another. Also, you'll want to add a service elevator to extend the height of the tower so your maids don't spend all their time switching elevators (your customers don't care about switching elevators, just about waiting).

Great game, but I would really appreciate it if some secondary goals were put in after you hit five stars (i.e. earn a million dollars, get a rating of 900, etc.)

Loved it... Elevators are a problem, i built 5 high capacity shafts for customers to all 50 floors and 2 Staff lifts.. Yet they used to have elevator concerns!!! Oh well, As long as i got the 5 stars it hardly matters...

Nice game, but too simple and easy. All u need to do is follow requests, dont matter how u build, it will ever works. U can only speed up game and will get income, nothing will happens to change it. 4/5

Just an observation: The pool seems to be the most profitable - low monthly expenses but high income. Food establishments, on the other hand, do not seem to generate much stable income. Anyway, this is a pretty nice game which made my day! :)

My hotel has no stairs, if there's a fire. Everyone is going to DIE. But in all honesty, I ran into a bug. One of my rooms never rents out, It's always empty and when people come to check into my hotel the Receptionist turns them away. This isn't some Norman Bates peephole room is it?

The way to get past the elevator problem is actually very simple...
the ratings don't go down for having to walk long distances for elevators
So basically have 1 elevator for 5 floors, then overlap another 5 floor elevator with the top 2 floors of the first elevator.
You can stagger them anywhere in your hotel (doesn't have to be one beside the other).
Haven't tried out 3 floor elevator staggers (with 1 floor overlap) as making a new elevator costs FAR more than getting extensions, but it should work even better than the 5 floor stagger.
Gosh I hope people still read the comments.

The way to increase elevator efficiency is to concentrate your services. Put your receptions/food/laundry/etc. on the bottom few floors, and put rooms, and only rooms, on the upper floors. Your guests check in, go to their rooms, then go do several fun things. If the fun things are concentrated, your elevators aren't going all the way then all the way down over and over as much.

No Good.. I cant See All The Rooms in The Hotel, There Should Be A Scroll or something To Drag The View So We Can See Everything

Am i the only one having trouble navigating around the screen? is there a scroll function i'm missing? I can't build what i want where i want, cause the top floor is blocked by the little windows at the top of the screen :(

This is a good hotel, has excellent service, has cafe's, arcade and even a Gym workout! But it doesn't have a bowling alley! grrrr I'm so mad ! this hotel isn't worth a star!

I have no complaints from my elevator system. 35 floor high hotel with 170 guests. You just have to think a bit outside the box. The way i thought about it was like this: "how do i get multiple elevator cars moving through one shaft?". That's not technically possible, but there are ways to achieve a similar effect.

I destroy my building And I didnt get any $ WHAT ?!? it should get half of the price so i can rebuild my hotel +if u agree

Great game but how about a staircase in addition to the elevators so they cant be overfilled and people can chose but surely prefer the elevators ;P or a fire ladder and extinguishers to fulfill the safety regulations :D

This game has serious problems with elevators, so i 'finished' the game and i have roughly 20-25 big elevators and yet customers still say they need more, seriously wtf? and when i add more they don't move to the free ones and they just stand there like idiots.... :/...this is quite annoying.

Good game. May I make a suggestion? Can the game not pause every time I click out of the game? It would be nice if my money could build as I talked in the chatroom. Thanks. =]

If you're complaining about the elevator, don't expand the elevator too high, expand up to 6/7 only, and build another elevator, I don't know how to explain it to you guys, just separate the elevators
And yes, they should add "stay in the floor" feature for the workers
+ If you find this useful

For all those who have problems with their elevator capacity: I had only one elevator from top to ground. The other elevators I built a little zig-zag, none of them covering more then 10 floors. So those guests who only wanted to go up or down a single floor didn't have to wait for an elevator to go up 20 floors first. I still got some complaints, but only a few.

Remember SimTower? Elevators NEED to go on top of normal rooms. I dont want to tear down lots of rooms and restaurants to fit a new shaft. :(

For all who have troubles with the elevators: plan your hotel - place public services on lower floors, suites on upper. Have different lift shafts. Change standart rooms with suites whe possible.

I think its best to stay at a certain star for a long time to get some funds, because the instant you hit the next star your reputation plummets as people expect you to get all the new buildings while you have the bare minimum
