So I'm getting these "I wanted suite room" negative comments. And I'm building floors 20-25 of my hotel with suite rooms, new facilities, and fill single gaps with normal rooms. Then I get "I wanted presidential suite" so I build these too and my hotel grows to 30 level. But then again people want average suites, so I build them not to lose my reputation, but a new need for presidential suites arrives and I build moar. Now I'm on level 55, with very wide hotel (200 000 to expand) and I must go to sleep but I can't as presidents again need suits and they say I could build more elevators too!

for those of you that have elevator problems, read this! build an elevator maybe 2-7 floors long. for example, elevator A goes from floor 1 to floor 5. B goes from 5 to 10. C from 10 to 15, and so on. doing this will greatly decrease the queue. my hotel is 13 standard rooms wide and 30 floors now and each elevator only works for every 3 floors. no one complains! and i have a staff elevator that goes all the way from floor 1 to 30. i have 3 receptionist, 4 waiters, 20 maids, and 5 engineers, still no problem. :) my reputation is about 800 now. still keep going! :D hope this helped. rate + so people can see!

hmm, if you destroy an elevator shape, all the people in get stuck and keep complaining about missing everything, reception, gym, disco,elevator,ect

$100k. Each expansion becomes more necessary and less reasonable. 6) Fix the elevator situation. As it stands, most hotels are 70%+ elevator, less than 10% hotel rooms, and the rest is the other rooms. I know this is a game, but I cannot suspend my disbelief that much.

(I suggest 3, or 1 quarter of a year, to give your game more business flare) before they need to implement the newest rooms after improving their star rating. This gives players the chance to react and actually use the rooms (or plan out which room to use first. I have found that I do not have enough funds to build 1 of each new room upon gaining a star.). 4) Either give the Receptionists/Waiters an additional function/boost or remove the need for them with Cafes/Receptions. Currently, they serve no purpose other than increase the cost of those rooms (yes, I know they make them operational, but the other rooms do not need special workers in order to make them operational). If you keep them, make them improve the service. Like decrease the wait time of those rooms by 5 - 10%. 5) Decrease the cost for expansion after the first expansion. First expansion is 2 spaces for $5k, followed by the second expansion of 2 spaces for $50k, followed by the third expansion of 2 spaces for TBC->

Fixes/Additions Needed: 1) Upgrade system. I am not talking about an upgrade tree or anything fancy. The main complaint seems to be efficiency/speed of the rooms/elevators. Maybe have 3 upgrades that improves the speed of rooms/elevators. Have it cost 10-30% of the amount of money current invested in room/elevator. 2) Improve AI. Currently, Maids and Engineers run all over the place, all merging in 1 spot that only needs 1 of them to do. They will repeatedly ignore the filthy dump of a room right next to them in order to clean up the slightly dusty room 12 rooms over and 16 floors up. More than just improving the AI, allow users to assign Engineers/Maids to rooms or floors. That will greatly improve things. Rather than 70 maids scrambling all over a 10 X 50 square, players can have 50 (probably fewer) maids assigned to 1 (probably more) floor each. This would also help solve the complaints of phantom money loss (I suspect this is a main culprit). 3) Give players at least 1 month TBC->

Do You want to know a secret for elevators? make each shaft connect only 2 floors. That means a lot of shafts and huge costs, and may be bad for beginning when hotel is short. But when it's tall, instead of building second shaft, borrow money, destroy one shaft and create a lot of small shafts. This way no one will complain for queues to shafts, as there is none - although one need to go through elevator hell to get to his room or escape out of hotel.

oh also make the interest rates for loans vary a bit plus 10% is overexcessive but if you get rid of it for a smaller sort of numbers add a chance to pay back full loan in one payment

tips for making this game better:1. make the elevators move faster
2.make the laundry machiens break less(they usually break after about 4 uses)
3.make the second expansion not so costly(it makes it hard to get to a 2 star hotel)

the solution to the elevator problem is to build many of steplike elevatorshafts overlapping 1 level with a max high of 8-10 stories, and NOT building elevators from bottom to top. People get pissed off of waiting, not of walking around and changing elevators. Have fun!

A good update would be a "Management" button, which you can manage upgrades for staffs, elevators, room quality, wallpapers, service quality, etc. In this "Management" screen, you can also customize where staffs belong (Floors or Rooms). In the "Loan" menu, you should add a "Pay Loan" so you can pay a specific amount of the loan that you owe, and also add an "Automatic Loan Pay" (On/Off buttons) so you can pay it manually, or automatically. Also add a 5 month payback, or they'll just wipe out the money you have to pay the loan, if you do not have enough to pay the whole thing, then they'll take out rooms/services untill it's all payed back. + If you agree.

Entertaining game. :)
But dude. The elevators. I have 12 High-Capacity elevators and four staff elevators and they're still complaining. Half my hotel is an elevator and still they want more! I guess there's just no pleasing some people.

Don't know how you guys fail to with the elevators, just build one every 4 roomspace and you are set. Expanding horizontally whenever you can, it will alleviate your elevator problems

It seems the elevator trip people up. They have lots and still people are waiting. Its not much good having 5 elevators going from the bottom to the 30th floor. Takes a long time to do a complete trip. Make each shaft short and start a new sharft. Each trip is fast then.

possible tip: try breaking up your elevators. don't make every one go all the way up to the top of your 30-floor building. I have all of my services, entertainment, health rooms pretty close to the bottom of the hotel, so many people just wanna move around the top ten floors, which means that the 30-floor capacious elevator that i built is gonna waste time going to get 1 or 2 people at the top of the building and the people at the bottom have to wait longer. its kind of hard to explain, but if the maker of the game saw this than maybe he could put it in the game as a tip or something. plz +

Balaugh, Having only 6 floors will kinda be impossible to satisfy the people when ur at 3-4stars, they want bowling and disco and stuff and that takes as much place as 4 or 6 standard rooms, and then they want two of each too.. costs to much to expand later on so u will have to get higher floors, i finished the game on floor45 :) i had shitload of elevators, u can put them next to eachother too btw

Although saying keep it minmum per shaft of elevators, it still takes a majority of the hotel. Aswell, staff elevators are not as useful as they would seem. It is more appropriate to just build a second main elevator.

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!

if you have problems with maids letting trash accumulate because the salary is monthly based you can fire and rehire maids with ease if performed before the month ends/begins.

The comments annoyed me. Its like they know. I can build a bowling alley and so now they desperately need it? They say things like, great hotel...but it needs bowling (thumb down). I have never seen a hotel with bowling in it. Just because I can build it doesnt mean you have to have it jerks. This isnt an amusement park. Its a goshderned hotel.
P.S whoever keeps breaking that washingmachine is going to pay dearly, mark my words.

I would have liked to be able to assign staff to floors and more than one receptionist for each receptionist desk would have made that a little more realistic.

Ways to keep guests from wanting more elevators: 1. Build them in small groups. For example, I build 5 elevators per shaft and then make a new shaft of 5 far away from the top elevator in that other shaft. continue until you reach the top. Having them in small groups limits the amount of floors the elevators have to account for and having them far away makes the guests walk more and gives each elevator more time to get the guests to there destinations without guests accumulating
2. Limit the services/food/health/entertainment to 1 per floor. If you have a whole bunch in a just a few floors then the guests will flock to those floors and the elevators there will become overloaded.
