B-O-R-I-N-G.

That pretty much says it all about this game. I've been trying to think of at least some redeeming qualities to this game for those who enjoy its premise, but sadly there are none.

Sure you can design rooms and kitchens, bars, game rooms and meeting rooms, but that's about all there is to it. There's none of the snappy humor you get in other SIM games; and the customers are whiny about every detail from not buying THE most expensive sink in the public restrooms, to not being on THE most expensive chairs in the restaurant.

Even the "challenge" levels are quite dull. It's definately not the game I was expecting. ...

View the website before purchasing this product!

I suggest that you go to the website and view the Technical Support section before purchasing this product. Read about the problems that other users have had or are having with this program. I've had the program for about three weeks, and it has worked about three times. There seems to be a problem starting the program. It either kicks you back to the desktop during the intro or it won't start at all. I downloaded the patch for the program, it didn't work. I sent an email to Tech Support a week ago and they have not yet responded. I read through the customer comments and found that there are a lot of people complaining about this problem. There are some people who have figured out how to re-program there software, but if I spend [money] on a software program, I shouldn't have to re-program it! Today I sold my game to a second hand retailer. I didn't get anything near the amount I paid for it. If you buy it and it works for you, Hooray! All I'm saying is view the customer comments on the website before purchasing this product! This Product, Tech Support and Manufacturer was a BIG disappointment to me. I will not be purchasing software from this company again. My experience with this software was TERRIBLE! I only gave it one star because there was no option for "0 Stars". Good Luck!

interface too difficult

I thought I would love this game, but I found the interface so awkward and the manipulation of things so awkward that I never stuck with it long enough to actually play it.

DO NOT BUY!!!

This is one of the worst games ever created. I feel ashamed and hurt to have bought this. I spent 40 bucks on a piece of turd. I tried sooo hard to give it away. Noone wanted it. Face the facts. It flat out sucks. There are too little options. The rooms feel akward and dont make sense. The graphics are horrendus and there are very few objects. It almost makes me cry that I spent time playing it. The controls are flat out awful, it took me nearly an hour just to figure out how to place an object. DO NOT BUY!!! DO NOT ACCEPT AS GIFT! DO NOT PLAY! DO NOT LOOK AT!!!!! Trust me... you dont want to play.

Boring, don't waist your time!

When I first got this game I thought that you would actually be able to create your own hotel. (Inside and out!) But all you get to do is build the rooms, but not the outside. When you are finished, you have to wait about 5 minutes untill just 1 person comes! No matter how appealing your hotel might look to you, only about 10 people (max.) will come. It's not worth it! And, it can be very frustraiting. For example, if you want to put a chouch in the corner it will put it somewhere else. It takes about 3-4 tries to get it where you want it! I hate games like that! Don't you?

It's Bad

This game stinks. I thought with all the good reviews that it would be good but it wasn't. When I first started playing it I thoght it was really cool but it got boring really quick. It is to hard to get people in your facilitys and even if you get people in them they don't make money. Once you do start to make money you try to expand your hotel and you go bankrupt. I WOULD NOT reccomend any one to buy this product because it is a waste of money.

Tedious and Boring

To sum it up, this game is flat out a complete waste of money. The graphics are average, but the design phase of each scenario is terrible. There are no tools available to assist in the creation of hotel rooms (which is the primary function of the game), and every minute detail must be done individually. Needless to say, the gameplay is quite tedious -- I spent four hours just trying to optimize placement of different rooms on one level. The game requires the player to do a lot of "setup" of each hotel in the campaign before a simulation actually begins, and given the poor design control interface, this becomes extremely tiresome after about the second scenario.

Bottom line: stay away from this one -- you will regret buying it.

You do not know what you are getting into...

In this game u choose the location for your hotel, then u choose the style of your hotel, next u furnish your hotel, and then u manage your hotel until u get bored.... Furnishing your hotel is pretty fun because u have so many choices...but managing it is a completely different story. After u open your hotel u have to wait half an hour, and then, and only then, will customers come. (Even if u advertise!)A few will come and look at your hotel. If they don't "like" your hotel they will leave. If they do "like" your hotel they will check in. All the customers do is watch TV, work out, read, etc. Unless u enjoy watching these things it gets very boring very soon. (It does even if u do enjoy watching these things.) In order to make your hotel "good", u (Supposedly...) have to peek into your cutomers' thoughts and evaluate their idiotic complaints. (Such as: "My room needs more lighting" or "The bar does not have reservation desk" etc.)Then u "fix" the hotel, and so on and so on until u get bored....(Like I mentioned above.) Another thing is that when the music changes the WHOLE GAME FREEZES FOR FIVE SECONDS! Here's the bad part, the music changes every thirty seconds! This gets soooooo annoying! Here are the pros and cons of the game:

PROS: Building and furnishing hotel is fun

CONS: Everything else is not

Summary:
This whole game is one big mistake. If u like tycoons, you're better off staying with RCT or some other one.

Thanks for reading this! (Or at least skimming thru it.)

Sigh... yawn... sigh

Sims gone WAY too slow, without the control of the sims. I do love simulation games, but this has got to be the slowest sim game to start. You will spend a lot of time building rooms, mostly while paused. I would spend 4 hours on layout, realise I've spent so much time on it and never get around to playing much after opening the hotel.
Now, if you like building hotel rooms, boy is this the game for you. Having not played the 20 or so hours it takes to finish even one scenerio, I can't comment on how easy or hard it is to complete a level... really, I'd just lose interest after hour 12 of gameplay.
This is definately a game for someone that has absolutely NO life outside of sim gaming.
Graphically, I liked it. You get so many options for walls, floors, lighting, layout, ammenities and pricing it's a wonder that I disliked it so much. :(
