The Harvest Moon Motel - a floorplan attempt

Wanted to try around with the "modern" floor plans a bit. This is based on a real motel floor plan that we once used for a World of Darkness Game.

Overall I'm not the biggest fan of the floor plan styles. They could use more symbols and some textures appear to be very low resolution. I ended up rescaling the indoor textures and using Darklands City and Creepy Crypts for some outdoor textures.

Will try creating a lighted night version next.

A larger version is in my gallery.

    Update: Moved the grid sheet so that it is below the "Map Name Sign".

    If you have any other suggestions for improvements, please tell.

    There should be an office where guests can check in (maybe an outside window with counter), a utility room with water heater and HVAC (ducts and plumbing down the center aisle) and may a vending machine or two somewhere to serve the guests.

    Out of curiosity, did you have to paint the road/parking lines by hand? Or was there some tool to use?

    @JulianDracos Kind of both: There are drawing tools and a sheet for road lines (with a slight edge fade effect).

    The "dashed line tool" did not work properly for me, so I drew one dash and copied it, to draw the road middle line.

    For the parking lines, I drew a single line with the tool, then copied them while having the "ortho"-box at the bottom of the creen checked, so they were aligned.

    @DaltonSpence Most of that is included:

    • The Check in Office is at the western side of the building, near the "green carpet"-entrance. You can see the light shining through the counter window in the night version.
    • A room with vending machines, washing machines and dryers is to the South of the Check in Office. The three dark boxes emitting a faint light at night are the vending machines, the light boxes are washing machines and dryers.
    • There's some appliance boxes in the central corridor, but there should be more, and a central heating/ utilities room would make sense - I was a bit puzzled there was none in the original plan.
    • Thanks a lot for pointing out that I had forgotten the heaters...😏 will correct and see what I can do about utilities.

    Update:

    Added heaters, installation in the central corridor and some additional furniture:

    I've also updated the gallery images.
