Hotels have always gone in and out of style. It's simply a matter of where the community is. It's almost like disco. At first, it was popular, and the people with lots of taste started to say they were tired of it. Then people who looked up to those people said "hey, you know, they might be right - this is getting a bit old." Eventually, most people stopped making them, although there were still a few diehards. Then they went out of fashion entirely.

About a year ago EvilMike and Violet made highly popular hotels with noble intentions but unfortunately it just brought back hotels. Improved as they were, there were still some simply terrible knock-offs. After a few new levels, this eventually became unpopular about a half year ago and since then hotels are pretty much unmade.

This is the fewest hotels I've ever seen, too, but I don't object to it. It's not that hotel levels are universally bad. Rather, it's that they are much more likely to be bad and even when they are good, there's not much to do in them.
