One of the more expensive things you can do in Motel Manager Simulator is deck out one of your motel rooms. From laying down flooring panels to setting your guests up with a billion different books, it all adds up pretty quickly.
However, money issues aside, it’s also really fun to set the room up and think about how you’re going to lay it out. Of course, this might lead to some issues as you find the rooms are not only kind of small, but they can look ugly very easily. Being aware of colors and room layout is super important when designing pretty rooms.
10Utilize Accent Walls
They Give A Classy Pop Of Color
Painting a room in one color or plastering it with the exact same wallpaper on every wall is a bit boring, regardless of how nice the pattern is or how many things you throw up on the wall. Using “accent walls,” or walls that are a different color or pattern, is a great way to make things feel bright and colorful still.
Although the easiest way to do this is to pair your accent wall with white walls, you can do any color of your choice. Preferably, you’ll be using paint to do this, too, which means you can cut down on how much it costs to get your walls covered up by something more appealing than the concrete underneath.
If only you could truly flip your motel and design the rooms to the size you want, like in House Flipper - alas, you are stuck with what they give you. On the bright side,profit should be comparatively easier to come around toin Motel Management Simulator.
9Use Light Colors To Make A Space Feel Bigger
Don’t Paint The Room In Black
Painting an entire room black is going to make the space feel small and cramped, regardless of how many lights you have in the room. If you want to use darker colors, keep it to the floor or an accent wall rather than every single wall inside the hotel room.
Instead, opt to keep your walls and your ceiling lighter - this will make the ceiling feel higher up and your motel room bigger. So, when you’re putting it together or rearranging your furniture, the room will feel less cramped inside.
8Keep The Color Scheme Simple
You Do Want It To Look Nice, Right?
You could just pick out whatever objects you want and throw them all over the room until the game recognizes it as “ready,” but where’s the fun in that? When you’re designing a room in Motel Manager Simulator, half the fun is carefully picking out what items go where.
Keep your color scheme simple and with little variance, and you’re definitely going to make the room pleasing to look at. They say the best things come in threes, and that’s certainly true when you’re picking out colors for a room design.
Thankfully, there are plenty of items for you to pick from and nothing horrendously garish looking, aside from some of the wallpaper options, so doing so shouldn’t be difficult. This is all assuming, of course, that you don’t want to make your rooms absolutely hideous (it is within your right to do so if you really want…).
7Keep The AC Unit Near The Door
It Needs To Be Close To The Outdoor Unit
In order for the interior Air Conditioning Unit to actually work and give you bonus profit, you need to make sure that it’s relatively close to the exterior unit. Putting them both above or by the door into the motel room is a great way to do this.
Of course, you could always opt not to have an AC unit, but what kind of motel room would you be renting in that case? Only heating and no cooling? Absolutely ridiculous. Thankfully, you get a choice of three different designs with the interior AC units, so you can pair them up with your rooms as you’d like.
6Utilize Wall Decor For A More Interesting Space
Can’t Take Up Much Room If It’s On The Wall
If you’re struggling to fill your motel room in a way that’s pleasing or that isn’t too crowded, then you should consider opting for some of the wall decor. It will, generally, increase the bonus your motel room will give, but it will also give you a chance to include extra decor that makes the room more visually appealing.
For example, rather than tossing the towels on the ground in the bathroom (acceptable, if unappealing), consider using a towel rack or a heater for an interesting visual design. There aren’t many “bathroom-oriented” items in Motel Manager Simulator, so take what you can get while you can get it.
5Opt For Double Beds In Every Room
Even Singles Can Sleep In A Double
Although single beds are, more often than not, cheaper, it’s much more convenient if you just make every one of your rooms have a double bed. Yes, you’ll need to spend more on sheets, and you might have to rearrange them to fit all of your purchased items inside, but it’s worth it.
Individual customers can use double-bed rooms, and you will always have a double bed ready when the occasional couple pops in for a night or three. Not to mention that the double beds do look very aesthetically appealing, and, even in the smaller rooms, trying to design around them isn’t terribly difficult - so why not do it?
4Consider Taking Feng Shui Into Account
It Leaves Spaces Tidy And Eyecatching
There are plenty of videos online and tutorials about how the art of Feng Shui works. Whether or not you understand the flow of energy and how that actually works isn’t particularly important when you’re designing a motel room.
However, what is important is that Feng Shui works really well to make aesthetically appealing areas that feel roomy and comfortable. Keep blinds drawn to encourage privacy, keep the foot of the bed not pointed at any of the doors, utilize rugs to create different “zones,” and have defined walking paths. All of this comes together to make an appealing room and helps you organize things really well.
3Keep Easy Walking Paths
A Direct Line To The Bathroom
When you’re cleaning, you really don’t want to navigate around things placed in the middle of the room. Having minimal obstacles while you’re gathering dirty sheets and towels is important, especially if you’re trying to rush for the next customer.
Having a clear and easy walking path from the front door to the bathroom is an important thing to keep in mind when you’re designing your motel room. The fewer things in the way,the faster you may tidy, clean, and put the room back together, especially if you don’t have a housekeeper hired just yet.
2No Gaps Between Objects And The Walls
It Makes Cleaning A Pain Sometimes
Try to keep things like beds, shelves, and desks flush against the wall. Trying to clean behind them or around them can be a massive pain, especially if you have to pick them up and put everything back together again when you’re done.
By keeping those gaps minimal or nonexistent, you’re saving yourself (and any housekeepers you may or may not have) a lot of trouble. The cleaner the room, the more likely it is to be well paid for and the more likely you are to get a bump up in your motel’s rating.
You Do Want To Make Some Money, Right?
Load up your motel room with books, a coffee maker, a TV, lamps, and anything that the game doesn’t technically count as an essential item. Things like books are on the cheaper side, and while their bonus isn’t extraordinary, it adds up relatively quickly.
These items not only act like great pieces of decor, but they also increase the price of your room - and, by extension, will help you boost your rating. Not to mention, it makes the area look more comfortable, and it’s just more time you get to spend decorating,which is half the fun of the job- especially when you’re pulled in several different directions.
