Hotel Architect

I found Hotel Architect a little easier to wrap my head around compared to other management sims. I liked making and decorating rooms, although it was tricky to actually get my desired quests. I also struggled to keep the happiness level up for both staff and guests. The hotel does become chaotic rather quickly without having a way to slow down the influx of customers. That is what usually messes up my play-throughs, but that is all part of the fun when it comes to these games. A good thing this game has is zoning, It makes it easier to visualise each section I create. If I could suggest something, maybe more filters on the furniture, so that we can focus on certain customers. It gets tedious having to hover over each item and see who prefers what. It may seem small, but when you try doing a whole refurb to tailor your hotel, it becomes tricky. Hotel Architect’s campaign allows the player to learn more at their own pace. All while not holding your hand so much that you are spoon-fed. Take the start of the game, you get a nice and easy run down, then level two just says “oh yeah you need a bar now.” I did enjoy doing the level objectives. If you are looking for a new sim, then Hotel Architect is a good first choice, so it’s the Thumb Culture Silver Award from me.
