    Thanks!

    I have added the conference room with restrooms and a small bar, business center, elevators/vending, and utility room. The utility room is absurdly large, but maybe they store tables and chairs for the conf room in there. And you've gotta have enough room for five or six PC's to hide while they wait for their quarry to go to sleep.

    So that leaves the suites and the stairwell, and then I will probably start making stamps to go with it--beds, chairs, tables, desks--anything that could conceivably be moved.

    Absurdly large? NO WAI! ;-)

    TBH, I work in the service team at a hotel - we do have a utility room filled with different typs of tables, and chairs, and stuff. You never really know what is needed at a conference until they tell you, and that big conference room looks like you could easily seperate it, which implies movable walls (or at least, movable things that form a wall), and means even more equipment to be packed in the utility room.

    And I don't even know what goes in the eastern blank space!
    So rest easy, that utility room is not too big, it's merely too empty.

    Good to know. I suppose my experiences with church support facilities skews my perception quite a bit. When a building project is over budget, it seems like utility space is one of the first things to go. We used to support an omni-gym out of a space about 20 feet X 6 feet. 100 stacks of heavy chairs is a bad thing to have on the sidelines of a basketball game, but there was nowhere else to put them because our Fearless Leaders decided that the big storage room in the original plans was a waste of money that could be spent on oak doors instead.

    Granted, those doors are beautiful.

    That's beside the point, though. I am getting bored with this project, so I'm going to try to finish it up quickly. Here are the suites. It's an unconventional layout because I've never been in a hotel suite before. Two bedrooms, large bathroom with a jacuzzi, mini-bar, and a sitting room with a coat closet.

    And speaking of closets, I should put some in the bedrooms.

    Truly, I have never been in a hotel suite before (just normal accommodation), but this is looking good. I favour it, actually.

    So, the lower right will be the staircase?

    Yep. I have that and a few windows left to do, and the map will be complete. I'm not sure what I'll do after that. I want to go ahead and make some stamps of beds, desks, nighstands, alarm clocks, etc, but I'm running out of steam for this style.

    I am pleased that my compression theory is paying off. The file size hasn't been increasing appreciably even after I added a lot of lines.

    Map

    Okay, I think I'm done with the map itself. Final entry is 2019 px X 1801 px at a scale of 15 px / foot, or 75 px / five feet.

    My final file size is a mere 55.6k in png format. Less than 66 bytes / square foot.

    Here are some objects to go with the map. First, a king-sized bed:
