I have built it recently, and included a lighting system. I deviated a bit from the plan and inventory bellow to make it slightly lighter but same height and width. I have added a Hotel sign on top of the doors. Also the top 6 floors level in this version is 6 slots wide which makes it more comfortable, and I have reduced the number of inner reinforcement. It is stable and relatively solid. I’ll drop the insructions and inventory soon.
