Question: How much you can ask for your rooms to get reliably(!) a lot of money?

I was playing with hotel design and found a little bit of limits imposed by game. So I decided to investigate a little bit. I am not going to check every option possible, thus I limited this test to some choices:

• 5-star rooms only.
  smaller rooms cannot compete in income per area
  
• 2x2 and 2x3 rooms
  2x2 is minimum to get 5-stars while more beds per room drastically drops probability of occupancy for the same price
  
• few selected bed/occupant configurations
  as smaller ones are not that profitable

Money are going to be re-calculated "per square" - means per smallest enclosure defined by walls as every room has to be enclosed by walls. Square is 16x16 tiles
(but I will write values per bed = per every occupant of the bed as well. Do not forget that games calculated final value as sum for the beds and ignores if it is single or double one, regardless that every occupant of the double bed pays that sum of money)

I filled the rooms with as many extras as possible - more lights, decoration, hotel furniture until it was clear that it has no further effect on price without affecting occupancy probability

In simple words, you charge 100 per single bed with 75% probability and 1-square room. Result is
75% | 100 per bed/person | 100*0.75 = 75 per square

Note: Neither one single bed nor double bed gives you as much profit by considerable difference compared to 2 double ones.
But they give you additional space for your creativity if you prefer cozy hotel over money

Due to area limits - size of the fireplace and bathtub for 5-star, you cannot place inside more beds than for 5 people



100% 335 for bed/person | 335 per square
80% 465 for bed/person | 372 per square
60% 700 for bed/person | 420 per square
50% 753 for bed/person | 377 per square

Orange color - excessive price (44%)
44% 801 for bed/person | 352 per square

100% 251 or bed/person | 314 per square
80% 349 for bed/person | 349 per square
60% 525 for bed/person | 394 per square
50% 569 for bed/person | 356 per square

Orange color - excessive price (44%)
44% 601 for bed/person | 330 per square

Note: I checked 2 double-bed configuration as in the case of 2x2 square room
For 100% occupancy I was able to reach same price of 335 as in 2x2 room. Thus you cannot squeeze more money from the increased room size - at least not for 100% occupancy


100% 251 for bed/person | 251 per square
80% 349 for bed/person | 279 per square
60% 525 for bed/person | 315 per square
50% 569 for bed/person | 285 per square

Orange color - excessive price (44%)
44% 601 for bed/person | 264 per square



100% 201 for bed/person | 268 per square
80% 278 for bed/person | 297 per square
60% 420 for bed/person | 336 per square
50% 455 for bed/person | 303 per square

Orange color - excessive price (44%)
44% 480 for bed/person | 282 per square

100% 167 or bed/person | 251 per square
80% 232 for bed/person | 278 per square
60% 350 for bed/person | 315 per square
50% 379 for bed/person | 284 per square

Orange color - excessive price (44%)
44% 401 for bed/person | 264 per square

And the winner is: 2x2 rooms with 2 double beds

Clearly, if you are after money, build as many 4-square rooms as possible

Winner no.2 is: 60% probability

If you accept fluctuations in daily income, pricetag paired with 60% chance of occupancy seems to give best money per square and night.
(btw. saving at the end of the day and restarting new day seems to recalculate occupancy. Use it as warning or use to your benefit)

2x3 or 6-squares room

8-people (4 double beds) is room of choice money-wise. Inferior to 2x2 but sometimes you need to use those remaining squares. And split into 4-squares 5-star room & 2-squares 3-star (max.) one is not going to give you as much money in total
interesting is that 6-occupant and 9-occupant variety are giving you same output. Still less money and for latter one - less space for fun and more money wasted on beds
