Anonymous	This is one of the first WADs I ever played and I still think it holds up today.	x
Anonymous	Good map for it's time...not so much nowadays. And unlike undersea.wad, it doesn't have "testcolor blue" in the console to back it up. The end is glitched too, I think. Oh well, I did like the disco club and honeymoon suite. 3/5	x
Anonymous	This is a well-made 1994 map. One of the classics, in my opinion, since many doom players know about this map. For its time, it could be considered 5 star material.	x
Anonymous	This is from May 1994. It's surprisingly not bad. The gameplay is standard hotel-style, i.e. lots of tiny tiny rooms that you have to clear, tediously, and each one has a toilet, but the detailing is excellent for the period and still decent today, in a retro way. It would be better with some of the rooms taken away, and streamlined a bit, but overall it's not bad. Very easy, lots of repetition, but better than 90% of the 1994 stuff in the archives.	x

Description
-----------
        So far your vacation has been a pleasent one, until now...
You wake up from a good night's rest. The first thing you notice in
your pleasent hotel room is a shotgun next to the TV. You think to
yourself, why would there be a shotgun in your room? You grab it
anyway and go to the bathroom to take a shower. In the shower you
notice shells and armor. Again, you question why would there be
such things lying around. 
        After spending some time in the room you decide to leave
and get something to eat. As you open the door the hall is totally
different from the day before. A pool of blood is lying in the
doorway and you realize this is not the hotel you were in the day
before... this is the Hell Hotel.

Comments
--------
-You can complete the level without entering every room, but
 every room does contain some sort of bonus
-Be sure to look at the rooms after killing all the baddies, I
 put a lot of time into detail (ie. the bodies on top of the
 picnic tables)
-My favorite room is the bar with the dance floor, disco lives :)
