The "story" aspect of Hotel Story is often compared to other games like Kairosoft's Hot Spring Story and Happy Mall Story, with players appreciating its engaging gameplay and cute graphics. However, many users express a desire for a more developed narrative or storyline, as the game currently lacks significant character interactions or quests. Overall, while the game is enjoyable and addictive, players feel that adding a storyline could enhance the experience further.
