Sorry to hear of the confusion here, @LouisdeFuines! Attacking hotels is not something that is not currently possible in EoS. I'm going to take note of your feedback though, as we really appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts on your gameplay experience. :)

Then how am I supposed to get a hotel? I don't have enough customers in my neighbourhood and the game won't stop telling me, how am I supposed to take control of a hotel if another faction has got the only one?

So you can not attack hotels and never been able to. once you have a synergy going in that neighborhood for example you have 5 casinos giving you the five of a kind synergy in that specific neighborhood you van then either buy or take over an available or derelict building and the option to set up a hotel will be available to you. Have to have a synergy going first.

Note; if you lose all synergies in that neighborhood and can't reestablish one within 7 days you will lose that hotel. You can lose one and still have an other and be ok, it's when you have no synergy whatsoever that you lose the hotel and get a notification about it

The option is not available for a new hotel as another faction already owns a hotel

I have read the blog, still doesn't explain how I am able to get a hotel off another faction so that I can place my own down as currently I can not place my own hotel as I'm not allowed more than one in a neighbourhood

Before anything I want to say I have had bugs in some play throughs where even though I had no visible hotels I had one already due to me having one in that neighborhood previously and selling it to convert it into another racket or move it but game wouldn't let me since it's still registering old hotel.

Hopefully answering these questions will help you fix your issue.

Do you have a current synergy going in that neighborhood? example 3 of a kind is 3 of the same type of rackets, 3 casinos say. Straight is one of each, a casino, a speakeasy, a brothel and a brewery. Full house is 3 of one type 2 of another example 2 brothers and 3 speakeasy. NOTE! Rackets can only apply to one synergy. Can NOT have the same speakeasy apply in all 5 synergies ... hope that makes sense.

Upon having a synergy, after you take over a derelict building or buy a racket in an available building, what does it say when you hover over the grayed out hotel option ... if it's available now, then there fixed it, if not, what's it say? If it says there's one already there I'll cover that in next question, if it says your unable to due to having no synergy, wait a week to pass and recheck ... happens when you take over rackets but not so much when you buy them to register that quick ... not sure why but has happened a few time for me in the past so it must be a thing ... not too sure on that one. This next little part I am not trying to insult your intelligence but make sure you have enough funds/cash to set up hotel also ... DO NOT set up in a medium or large building, it does nothing more than waste that building, you get the very same in a small building and it's way cheaper.

When you are in the neighborhood overlay, the screen where it shows all the neighborhood information and where you can also see if you have synergies in that specific neighborhood. There are 2 places in that same screen where it would tell you if you already have a hotel in that neighborhood, one reads left to right and the other top to bottom and at the end of both it says hotel, if you have one it will be highlighted and a green check or X would be in the bubble, is this your case? If so, you have a ghost hotels somewhere in there and are good, it could be a bugged out one but it's there and you are benefiting from it and that is why you can's set up a hotel ... but it's there somehow. Now you may not have the same fortune in another neighborhood and will have to set one up. If this is the case just roll with it for the time being as I promise you there is no fix it to it right now. Either start from a save before that "issue" happened or start a new game is best you're going to get. If and when fix comes out in a patch it will fix itself when you go to upload your save and you may or may not get a notification but always check and see if it's still the case.

Now, when you do manage to set up your own hotel and see other hotels in the neighborhood from other factions don't freak out as that's normal and a thing they can do also. No, you can't take theirs and they can't take yours, hotels are off limits in this game. However they and you can lose that hotel if you lose all synergies in that neighborhood and you might find yourself back at square one with a ghost hotel later ... if it bugs out again. roll with the punches ... You may run into taking over factions empire that has hotels in shared neighborhoods and notice their hotel is t=still there and now you have 2-3 HOTELS!!! don't get too excited as it does nothing or multiply anything :( I know ... you'll still only get the benefit from just one. I will try to find the game saves where I have this happening to show you.

Hopefully this works for you and you figure out how to set up your hotel. If you can let us know the results or if the issue persist let us see a snapshot of what's going on

So here you can see the 2 hotels owned by me in the same neighborhood, I do have other neighborhood with the same thing going on and in other games. Nothing extra or special happens ... Also the bottom shot is the information screen I am talking about where you can see if or not you have a hotel in that neighborhood

Why thank you very much for this response, I must have a ghost hotel somewhere in my neighbourhood as there is a tick over where it says Hotel Synergy, I wasn't aware this would even be a bug and assumed I wasn't allowed to place down my own hotel as another faction already has one in the neighbourhood, also the game telling me every 5 minutes that I don't have enough customers in the neighbourhood led me to believe I myself didn't own a hotel, thank you very much for the help and I hope this bug is fixed very soon as I would like my hotel in a specific location. (For some reason I can't directly reply as the forum thinks I'm spamming??)

You're welcome and I am glad you at least found an answer to your issue. I believe you can locate where the hotel is at least if it populates in the rackets tab in the same screen where you view the neighborhood breakdown. You can filter it by faction, view your character's owned rackets and find the hotel icon. If you click on the name of the hotel it will move over on top of the location where it is. Also, in that next screen where it shows the overview/breakdown/review of hotel, at the bottom you will have options to close or sell it ... who knows, maybe that might "fix" it and you will be able to set a visible hotel up. Just know that I myself have sold hotels in the past and it did The Whole bugged/ghosted thing. Once it was unavailable to be and there was no hotel so no benefit just bugged out. It really is a hit or miss to be honest but you can give it a try if you want. Glad I could help somewhat.
