The excellent Hotel cost estimating guide 2020 of JN + A and HVS design gives you information on the cost of upgrading elements in the hotel. Check this guide to get a grip on costs of new investments. Feel free to use another guide, if that is more appropriate for your hotel. Do not get lost in too many details: rather thinks in hundreds and in thousands of euro's.

Info on the reception
The reception is at the front side of the hotel and easy the access The main parking lot is right in front of the hotel and is directly at the side of the (public) street that is passing by the hotel. The reception is acceptable: not very modern in its equipment but everything works. The entire hotel is not really modern. The keys, for instance, are still the old real keys. There are no digital cards or multipurpose keys. This turns out to be very inconvenient.
From a logistics point of view, the reception is very awkward: the desk is right behind the opening doors, which brings in a lot of noise, pollution, wind, and dust. Apart from that the place where arriving guests have to stand is very small. If there are more arrivals at the same time (which happens every day) guests have to be asked to proceed and walk a few meters to the lobby behind the reception (ask you can imagine this is very unhandy).
As can be seen on the ground plan, both the square meters are insufficient as well just like the location of the reception on the ground floor. On the ground plan, the arrow indicates the main entrance: this is the entrance meant for hotel guests and others. At the back of the hotel, there is also an entrance for suppliers. The banqueting section (see groundplan) has its own entrance, though many of these guests drive by this entrance and end up still using the reception. There is no standard reception facility at the banqueting rooms, so, if they are (all) occupied a mobile one is set up at the banqueting room entrance.
