Overview- This wad was something different; at least I’ve never seen it
before. It is quite obviously a hotel were some kind of tragic thing has
occurred, I mean everything tries to kill you. There is a surprise I don’t
want to ruin it for you, play it and find out and don’t look at it on the
editor to keep the surprise.

Difficulty- 3 This wad was not too difficult, I am no doomgod by any means
but I’m not bad and this wad, tested on UV, did not pose much of a
challenge, it’s possible to complete without dieing once, even the first
time through.

Design- 5 The wad was not real big, 20 minutes at most even for a newb
doomer, I found that the author put some effort into creating items one
might find in the various hotel rooms, but that’s were it ends, the texture
choices I find questionable but they were ok, there were quite a few texture
misalignments throughout the wad, and more than half the wad consisted only
of Zombies and Zombie Sergeants. I guess the author wanted to fit a strict
theme at first. There were no traps to speak of, but overall it looked ok,
not bad, but nothing compared to the standards of wad we have come to
expect.

Replay ability- 3 This wad was only good for a one time romp, it was decent
fun although not very complex or challenging, everything I found the first
time through.
Things that could have been improved on would be the texture choices and
layout.

Pros-
Decent fun the first time through
Some Very Detailed Objects, (i.e. The Toilet or The Piano)

Cons-
Short Level
Not the greatest Architecture or Texture Choices
Not very Challenging
