There should be something that happens if you drop below 0$ for too long. I was around -6000 for about 6 years after borrowing a 60k loan to buy the 2-star stuff, and apart from the inability to build anything to get rid of the loan faster, there's no detrimental effect, provided you have patience of course ;).

Welcome to the Hotel California. Remove all elevators, then fire some workers from upper floors. The game should freeze in a few seconds.

If you're having problems with comments about the elevators, try alternating Capacious and Regular elevators on two columns. This makes the workload more efficient. Recommended instead of increasing boundaries because of the cost.

A good, if badly spelled point - the lack of stairs is a terrible fire hazard! I hope this hotel never gets inspected... or do we just bribe the safety inspector? :D
Good game

For anyone who has problem with elevator, try not expand shaft more than 10, you can build another elevator on different columns.

The elevators aren't really a problem. You just have to make them short, one elevator connecting like 10 floors and then another to the next 10. If you also remember to put laundries, restaurants and so on every few levels you shouldn't have any problems.

trick with the elevator concerns is to limit your elevator height to 4 levels and make another elevator on that level this will 100% solve those elevator queues =D

The price hierarchy for expansion is too steep, going from 5000, to 10,000 to 50,000 to 100,000. 100K for 2 sqaures is frustrating. If we need so many elevators, we need to be able to grab the space to place them.

To keep Personal costs low keep Laundry, Internet cafe, Arcade , Gym , Bowling and later Cinema close together. If you have to destroy your laundrys do it. You safe alot money you need only 1 or two Engineers until Endgame. Only one Waiter per Restaurant.
Dont keep your rooms too tidy with the Elevator tipp you can keep around 500 Rating even with
low Maid count. If you want to lvl up to next star hire Maids and fire afterwards for 1st and 2nd star.

I've decided that the best way to overcome the elevator difficulty lies in increasing the width of your hotel and not the height. Height is what causes the problem since they have to travel up all the way. If you add more width then the elevators don't need to go any higher.

Maybe an unlimited money sandbox mode? One where I don't have to wait to buy elevators for my guests? Besides the ten columns I have, that is.

Unless I am missing something, the Waiters and Receptionists are pointless. You have to have exactly one for each room. There should be some gameplay reason to have a ratio other than 1:1, or else they should just be bundled into the building of the room.

thank you for having the mute button at the start....hate games that make noises and a fuss when u just want it to shut up and let you play!!!

I think you should tweek guests elevator needs a little or implement some new capacious elevator² that supports more people. The way it is now, i feel like i should build one giant hotelevator (more than half my hotel are elevators)!!

Who else thought this was kinda easy to finish even though they keep asking for elevators and led the hotel to bankrupcy by hiring 500 engineers? :D
Was fun though... need upgradeable stuff...

Just a simple button to add an extra elavator car to the current track would be so nice,i have a mile long section of elavators for petees sake.

The AI needs to be fixed to use other elavators, they all flood the closet one and begin to complain.
There also needs to be upgrades for each individual building.

For those of you with issues playing this game, find yourself a copy of simtower or yoot tower (look on abandon ware sites) much harder, much bigger, and made 15 years ago. Breezed through this in half an hour without the tutorial cause of that game.

How to beat the elevator review: Build multiple elevators going up only 3-5 floors eachs; How I did it was having one elevator from floor 1-3, another from 3-5, 5-7, etc. It's expensive, but pays off in the end. Just have one staff elevator reaching all floors so workers can get to problems quickly.
+ So others can see.

Fun. Reminds me a bit of Sim-Tower. It would be nice though if we could upgrade the elevators. It would also be nice if, like Sim-Tower, the elevators didn't take up so much space.

hey guys if your having trouble with the elevators, just break them up into smaller elevators and they will be happy, because there are more elevators + so everyone can see!

Also, apparently 17 elevator shafts are not enough. I'm still getting lots of complaints even though I don't even have 200 guests. I guess I need an elevator shaft for every guest?

For those of you with elevator issues, a couple of tips --
Don't make elevators that span the entire height of the hotel. Stagger them left and right, spanning a handful of floors (10-15), with a couple of floors overlapping between elevators. Elevators will go all the way to the top/bottom before turning around, so shorter elevators mean less waiting. It does make it a bit more tricky to place rooms, and it uses a little more space on the overlap floors, but it's worth it.
Also having "themed" floors can help your workers a lot. If you have floors with no rooms people stay in, maids can skip them entirely so they'll have less stops to make when doing their rounds. And some shops/entertainment rooms don't require repairs, like the beauty shop or restaurants, so if you make a floor that only has those only guests will visit and your worker elevators will never have to stop there.
