Well, there is one reason -- if you prefer "old and dated" hotels to new ones. Lots of people do. That might be a useful option to your map: if you're tracking the age of hotels anyway, you could also produce a map catering to those who prefer the older ones.

I don't agree with you that many people prefer old and dated hotels. If you read thousands of reviews online about any hotel, the majority of people give a negative review if the hotel has old carpet or has not been well maintained.

Which is completely different, old doesn't mean not maintained

[JohnFen]

Well, sure. I don't prefer hotels that haven't been well-maintained either. But that's a totally different thing than being "old and dated". I've encountered plenty of old hotels that were well maintained, and plenty of new hotels that weren't.

I prefer older hotels because newer ones tend to be uncomfortable.

Online reviews reflect a fairly narrow demographic slice.
