Hotel Frenzy: Design Makeover 4+

Surprisingly addictive

I didn’t expect much from this game, but I actually am really hooked by the story, decorating and characters, and I love the gameplay (think diner dash style but for concierge services at a hotel) and especially love that I don’t have to do boring matching or merging to proceed with decorating and the storyline.

I don’t mind spending some money on boosters and such either. I find the prices reasonable, no gouging and you do NOT have to purchase to win levels or achieve certain key items - ads can be a bit annoying but are mostly optional and the occasional one that slips in is mostly skippable.

I wish however that I could revisit past hotels not just to look at them but to play additional levels just for fun or maybe play enough levels and get a small prize (booster or something). I miss playing at some of the locations more than others. I’m playing the space themed hotel right now and I love the theme, decor and music. I’m going to be sad to leave this location. But each level/location is pretty fun and they keep it interesting. Highly recommend giving this one a try.

Great game/NOT worth the anxiety

These multi tasking games are fun and engaging. However, I don't want to play games that increase my stress and anxiety. All of these games start off exactly the same. You play and play and do so well in the beginning stage to get you hooked and then the levels are nearly impossible to beat. I will watch the scoring and see how the score is rigged. I can’t even tell you how many times I have lost by a point or so. I have played the exact same level about 500 times and lose by the exact same score almost every time. If you want your score to be higher you MUST upgrade everything in the hotel and that requires stars and stars are NOT easy to come by UNLESS you pay. I understand and appreciate these games want to make money and are challenging but if they are so aggressive whereas you actually want to throw your screen across the room in frustration, it’s time to delete the app and that is where I have arrived with Hotel Frenzy. It’s a shame because it is fun and a nice escape but not at the expense of my emotional sanity. A guaranteed GREAT time….for the first day or so and a great time quickly will turn to high anxiety. I really think if the developers fix these issues they would actually make more money. They are guaranteed to NOT make a dime if the user deletes the app entirely. Something to think about.

Awesome game

Ok so I’m going to update my review from one star to 5 stars, at least for now. By the end of the third motel the game gets a lot more challenging and gets a lot harder to collect diamonds...basically to the point where you feel like the only way to win some levels is to buy diamonds or power ups. HOWEVER, I will say that I’ve settled in to the game a little better and it IS still fun. That being said, you do have to watch a LOT of the ads and do a lot more waiting for motel upgrades to be able to pass some levels. Ads are also needed if you don’t feel like waiting several hours or an entire day to upgrade.

The game is fun and it is worth it for myself personally, but just be prepared to watch a lot of ads to be able to progress the game. The first few motels are super fun and easy to get through, but by the end of the third motel the dynamics change a bit. Give yourself time to get used to it before jumping in and making a review.
