Hotel Game Pack

Just to be clear what I am going for is a bit of old school luxury in my hotel choices. Something that centers around the aesthetics and service. Also since the Sims tends to skew American I went for more of a Great Britain feel with a bit of luxury Egypt. I tossed in a little Overlook Hotel too. This may not be everyone's cup of tea stylistically speaking, some people maybe want something simple like a bed & breakfast or the great American Road trip where you stay in kinda tacky cheap places.

Speaking of the Great American Road Trips, if you like Cars (and all they entail), Tattoos, Tacky Roadside Attractions, Motels check this link
