Hi. I use Dine out restaurant lots for Hotels :smile: I place Guests rooms upstairs and a functional restaurant downstairs next to the Lobby. I get my sim to buy the restaurant to lock some doors to certain rooms so no sims invades my sims when they use the rooms. Then sell the Restaurant. I do see the restaurant employees pass out sometimes for over working, its hilarious. I have also seen a few deaths using restaurants as hotels.
I don't use mods so I had to find a way to do it. I hope this helps and works well for you.
