The Hotel was young and very different then. There was more emphasis on user-made fun, and less quests/games/competitions. The number of users was substantially smaller. Giving presents does not justify Hotel Manager X being better than Hotel Manager Y. It is simply not feasible to do such a similar thing nowadays. (Although with all the different coloured rares, one could be set aside and be given to each Habbo on Christmas Day that were online on Christmas Eve...)
Callie most certainly tried to prevent event-less time on the Hotel. She was an incredibly fun HM... but towards the end of her time in the job she began to lose reliability - letting competitions slip, her punctuality slip, etc.
Lost_Witness hasn't been in his current job too long... I think he's doing well, but he's not done anything with the "wow-factor" to set him apart from other Hotel Managers. (Apart from him being the UK's only male HM...) Hopefully he'll pick up a tad more pace in the coming weeks before Christmas. ^_^
ione... things were do different for me during ione's time at the Hotel. The Hotel was young, and I was young. ione did help pave the stepping stones leading to what the Hotel is today - and she did her job well.
Jibbi was a bit average IMO. Okay, she did events, but I didn't "feel" anything from her. It wasn't anything personal - it could have been her, it could have been the Hotel, or it could of just been me - but I got bored. (I see Lost_Witness marginally ahead of Jibbi, but methinks he's got a long way to go, and he'll be way better in the end.)
I do think it's unfair to compare Hotel Managers though. The Hotel has been in many different states, and each of the Managers have coped well. Different facilities were available for each "reign", and different audiences. Methinks ione and Callie in particular did a lot to develop the Hotel. With Jibbi, I saw the Hotel in stasis. Lost_Witness hasn't quite done as much as the ione and Callie yet (baring in mind he's only just started), but (IMO) is moving ahead of Jibbi.
Why am I even comparing them when I said it's unfair to? I contradict myself all the time... but that's the fun of being drowsy/tired/ill at 10:10pm, eh? :(
