Does this mean no hotels?

I think this is the closest we will get to hotels and the closest I would want to having hotels. Mainly because I don't think people would actually enjoy a specific hotel lot as much as they think. Given the amount of bugs caused by having 12+ sims residing on a lot (For Rent), I think hotels would have very similar issues and just cause a lot of problems. Also, I think they would be quite boring tbh. Think about it, what makes hotels nice IRL is a nice restaurant, cafe, lounge spaces etc. We would not have that, it would just be the same as a vacation rental but with staff + more sims staying there. And given that having >12 sims on a lot causes issues, we could have maybe 3 staff NPCs, and max 9 guests before it starts to increase the risk of save corruption. The only way I could see it even being interesting is if it worked like Business & Hobbies with separate activities sectioned off, so you could create a residential area, a restaurant, and a lounge area, etc. But that seems extremely unlikely, it would be so complicated and expensive to create, then everyone would just complain about a whole new EP for something they feel should've been included in previous EPs. So I don't think it's very likely.
