I don't think hotels should be uploaded. I guess it is not the boringness of the toel what matters here: besides, the Wadledee Hotel is pretty good and funny if you like to make some fun sometimes. The main reason that hotel should not be uploaded in my opinion, is that it is useless to load them up.
The standard definition of a hotel in JJ2 terms is "a level hosted by the owner, wheere players can buy rooms by collecting coins et cetera, the owner of the level will edit the level after the buy" In this way, you can get rooms in levels, with furniture, and other people that join the hotel can see that you have a room in the hotel. Due to this edit mechanism, the level constantly changes. It's never the same.
When you upload a level to J2O, you always have it betatested and played (most of the time) until you have a perfect level, which is complete. Then, you load it up, and there's nothing more you can do for it. Hopefully you get a good rating and your level gets played a lot of times. See it as a child that you raise, but someday you have to have it go it's own way.
A hotel doens't have this perfection. It's constantly changing, and it does never reach a form of perfection. So if you upload it, the level could be totally different the next day and the player has to download it again. Levels like hotels are dynamic, and that's for me the main reason they never should be put on J2O. Not that they are BAD.
