Managing businesses/hotels has always been one of my least favorite parts of The Sims. Not that I don't understand it's fun for other people, it's just not what I play for.
I'm hoping if/when we get University, that that is the expansion pack that adds "shared housing" lot types. And you can either live in shared housing as a tenant (or sorority/fraternity member) or own it and rent out on your own. And either set units or live communally. If they tweaked shared housing to add a "duration of lease", you could really easy set the duration to a day or something and then basically run it like a hotel.
That's all *wild* speculation, but in either case, hotel management is not my jam.
