Hotel Tycoon 2 Controls

Hotel Tycoon 2 does not hide behind a 40-key bind list. Almost every action is a click or a one-letter toggle. This page is the control sheet so you stop fighting the catalog when a guest is waiting. Pair it with how to play for the loop and build mode for catalogs.

Guest service

Input	What it does
Click / tap a guest	Start service — then walk them to a free bed
Click / tap a bed	Assign that mattress
Click a finished stay	Collect checkout cash
Click linens / basket	Pick up dirty bedding
Click the washer	Start a laundry cycle (HUD can show 0x when empty)

If the catalog or the elevator keypad is open, those clicks hit the UI, not the guest. Close the overlay first. That is the number one “controls are broken” report on mobile.

Build mode

Input	What it does
Build / hammer control	Open catalogs
[E]	Exit build mode
[G]	Cycle grid size (size 1 for outdoor clutter, size 6 for room plates)
Trash tool	Delete a piece
Paint tool	Recolor
Dollar / price tool	Place a priced item or sell
Red Exit / Back	Same as [E] on the Outdoor or Build sidebar

Stay in build while a Bellhop escorts. If you have no Bellhop, tap [E] the moment a guest spawns. Full catalog names live on build mode.

Elevator keypad

Glass cabs open a numeric pad:

• G — ground
• 1–7 — upper floors (the promotional cab shows seven plus G)
• Bell and direction arrows — cab calls
• X — close the pad so you can click a guest again

The pad is not the code box. Do not paste gift strings here. Vertical layout: how to expand.

Mobile versus desktop

Desktop uses mouse clicks plus E and G. Mobile uses the same labels as on-screen buttons. Two mobile traps:

1. The build sidebar covers the guest. Hit Exit, then tap.
2. Pinch-zoom makes the washer look like a decoration. Zoom out until the 0x counter is readable.

Six-player shards plus a glass tower stutter on low-end phones. If taps miss, it is lag, not a missing bind. Ask a friend to leave — multiplayer.

What is not a control

• Roblox escape / Settings is not the hotel staff panel.
• The language of this wiki is not an in-game bind.
• Auto collect is a gamepass, not a key. See gamepasses.
• Scripts inject extra keys. That is not official — script safety.

First-session drill

1. Click one guest, assign a bed.
2. Open build, press [G] once, place nothing, press [E].
3. After checkout, pick up linens and start the washer — laundry.
4. Only then decorate.

If a guest idles in the lobby after that drill, the path is blocked, not the bind. Delete the wall. Related: Getting Started, first-hour checklist, guides hub.
