Overall rating:

This map is hard to rate. It's a hotel, and we all know the limitations of Doom when it comes to transfering reality into Doom. Countless boring school maps are proof of this.
The limitations are obvious in this map, too. It's quite repetitive with its countless small rooms with one Zombie. The wad is best in areas that I hardly could associate with any real room.
The wad is looking quite bare, though there are some cute details, like the beds or a garbage can made out of Doom sectors.
Gameplay is very easy.
So, I don't know if I should recommend this wad. The author put much work into it, but it's not 100% convincing. I found it similar to some of my earliest wads in The Cult Wad.
Oh, and this is the first wad of 2006, that I've played. :-)
