The roof is added. I had to remove the interior cards form the rear wall and do some filing and cutting in order to the roof to fit.

Looking good tom. Some times it happens where you do have to make a little adjustments. I had to do that with the mine but in the end it all works out.

I added the remaining walls, roof, and other details to finish the hotel.

Finished from the front and left side.
