I would also love hotels! It seems to me to have been a scrapped idea for Island Living. The biggest clue to this being the resort style Bb catalogue, plus it’s an obvious destination world.
As for Hotels never actually being added as a feature, I’m guessing it has something to do with performance and sim limits. There’s like a 15 sim limit to any lot, at any given time, which would nerf any kind of hotel gameplay imo. High schools as an example, or any large lot or neighbourhood really, feels baron at the best of times.
TS2 had playable hotels and there weren't any issues with them due to number of NPCs on the lot. There was the concierge, maid and room service and because gameplay was more or less restricted to the room, it didn't feel like there was not much to do at the hotel or not enough sims on the lot. Basically it wasn't much different from playing a rental lot with a butler. The only big difference was the price you paid because it cost a lot less to rent one room and you could order food to your room.
