This summer's big question seems to be, "how do you collect more coins from your hotel in CityVille?" Once you go through all the steps to build it, staff it and fill it up with goods, it seems like a waste of time if you're only going to harvest 2500 coins.
But that's the challenge.
Learning how to collect more coins from their CityVille hotel is what keeps a lot of players coming back for more.
And that's exactly what Zynga had in mind when they designed it! One of the most basic tricks to getting more out of your hotel is simply to harvest it frequently.
The more you harvest the better your return.
But that's not really what everyone wants to know.
The big question is how to get more coins each time you harvest.
In that respect, your CityVille Hotel operates much the same as the other businesses in your city.
Placing decorations and businesses in close proximity will increase your payouts each time you harvest.
Even a single Coconut Tree will increase your payout by at least one percent.
But Zynga has made it even easier for you to collect more coins from your hotel.
The recent release of the Amusement Park attractions isn't merely for decoration.
Those rides and games attract tourists - especially when they're placed either near your hotel or near your Cruise Ship.
And, when placed near your Hotel, they help it fill up faster and they increase the percentage of payout.
In order increase your profits from your CityVille Hotel, you need to think of it as if it were a real hotel in a real city.
First, place it where it will attract the most tourists.
Tourists like to visit areas that have plenty of shopping and entertainment.
So surround your hotel with businesses and the new Amusement Park attractions.
Tourists also like to visit areas that are pretty, that's why parks and zoos and resort areas are always such a huge draw in a real city.
While you're planning the placement of your CityVille Hotel, be sure to include plenty of decorations like fountains, trees, seating areas and flowers.
These will all increase the payout you receive each time you harvest your hotel.
While the basic payout for a Level 1 hotel is only 2500 coins, it's not unheard of for players who've completed their upgrades to be collecting 10,000, 20,000 or even more, each time they harvest.
So go ahead.
Build that hotel.
