Thread: Metropolis gets hotel
Aside from replacing maybe three existing city structure with one, I can sort of see the point in your idea - but can't see the reason why you would have it in the first place.
For example, folks dont need temporary accomodation (toons dont need rest or sleep and home is generally 10 minutes away), and can store and pull pets and vehicles as often as they like. I can't see why folks would want to visit the place just because its there? It doesnt offer anything out of the ordinary aside from some services that you can get anywhere, or can duplicate in the comfort of your own house.
The shop rental idea has been canvassed here a few times in respect to the request for a Mall as a new structure (that got narrowly beaten by the all terrain harv),and even purpose built shop structures to replace medium houses has been canvassed before - as has high-rise blocks of flats/apartments to replace singleowner buildings.
Personally i'm hoping/guessing that come space expansion we get star ports in metros!
and who do you propose is going to 'rate' these hotels? just a ballot box in the front door for anyone to spam with votes (don't like a city, have all your friend vote it's hotel as a 1, it's your city, have all the citizens vote 5). or maybe it'd just be basted off of number of 'decorative' items... so drop 250 plants in it and you're a 5-star. that sort of game play doesn't work too well in a MMO setting, sorry.
