	Author	Review
United States	Elvis Mitchell The New York Times	"'Hotel' is never less than fascinating (...) [It] often has the free-form, surly swing of Charles Mingus's thumping improvisations"	POS
United States	David Stratton Variety	"Though 'Hotel' has brilliant moments, it falls away badly in the later stages"	NEU
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"Those who are open to its flywheel peculiarities may find it bold, funny, peculiar and delightful (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS

United Kingdom	Michael Hayden Empire	"A fascinating shambles, 'Hotel' explores new possibilities for digital filmmaking. The results are flawed, but the technique is risky, exciting and hard not to admire (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
