Hello, and welcome to my first review for TSLB. Today I will be looking at a new rental housing area in the sim of Carthago, “Carthago Hotel”.
Carthago Hotel is in the south end of Carthago, very noticeable as the hotel stands out no matter where you are. The owner, Deany Fall, opened the hotel without an event, so no one, besides his friends and people in Carthago, knew about the opening, one criticism is that the hotel claims to be “Luxury Five Star”, The hotel is already hitting the Popular List.
Let’s start at the beginning, and I mean the beginning. The entrance to the hotel has a way of drawing you into the hotel, be it being whatever is inside the lobby or how the wood fencing directs you into the hotel, not much happens in the front of the hotel but that’s because it’s not the main part.
As you step into the lobby, Deany Fall, the Hotel Manager, may greet you if he is online at that time. When he greeted me, I told his about my review for TSBL and he was delighted to show me around his hotel, we started in the lobby where, in my opinion, looked pretty bare. There were some receptionists, (that’s right, receptionists, he has two reception desks) and an elevator leading to the hotel rooms. When I asked why, he said that he would be adding a café to he’s hotel (read interview near the end to see), which I though was a wonderful idea.
We then went into one of the empty hotel rooms, this gave me a chance to compare Carthago Hotel with it’s next-door business, “Emperor Apartments”, but looking at the rental details, there way nothing much to compare, both businesses had the minimum rental week as one and maximum as four, Emperor Apartments had 50 more primitives allowed than Carthago Hotel; yet Carthago Hotel is much cheaper, L$100 cheaper to be in fact, but looking at the space in Carthago Hotel’s rooms, surely you could have more prims for the room, but of course, that would mean an increase in price, Deany Fall did say that if hotel guests wanted to have more prims in there room, then he could talk over a price to increase the prim level.
Then, Deany showed me something that only the VIP Guests get to rent, the Penthouse, a true honor I say, he wasn’t hiding any secrets, which is good for a hotel manager. As we entered, I found myself thinking “Whoa! Lots of space!” the Pent House was the same size as a normal floor in the hotel, with two private balconies, secret way to the pent house making it very private, but of course, the price to rent it was a lot, but that meant that there was a lot more prims than the normal floors, and with a room that size, you want to fill every corner.
At the end of my tour, I asked for a mini-interview with Deany, he delightedly said yes and we sat down for a chat:

Salmir Aeon: What made you think of the idea for the hotel?

Deany Fall: Well, I thought a Hotel would be pretty fun to run and people don’t always want to buy land, so I thought I would give it a go.

Salmir Aeon: how well did it start in the beginning days of your hotel?

Deany Fall: It went very well in the start, I had a few guests coming along and quite a lot of traffic as I was on the popular list.

Salmir Aeon: what do you think about the competition between your hotel and Emperor Apartment?

Deany Fall: I don’t really see there is a competition really. People are allowed to have choice in the world, so if people want to live in another place, then they should.

Salmir Aeon: finally, what plans do you have for future development?

Deany Fall: Well, we are planning on adding more fun stuff in the Hotel and even some Role play activates to make it more enjoyable. I’m currently working on a Cafe, which should be fun! Also, we had a Party bunny over the past few days that kept chasing my guests around the hotel, haha!

Salmir Aeon: haha, ok, thank you for your time

Deany Fall: Thanks
So, to my conclusion, the design of the hotel is modern yet eye-catching, the Hotel Manager is a friendly guy, Carthago Hotel could have competition in the future with Emperor Apartments, and future café and Role-Play nights are coming soon.

As for “Luxury Five Star”, maybe in the future, Deany has got what it takes to make it “luxury”, but at the moment, he has along way to go.
