As for the elevator, if I am understanding you correctly, you go upstairs, then EXIT HOTEL, but not using the elevator.* This should not work, obviously, so I will check on it.* Thanks for letting me know.

Not quite. To get to your room you
1. ENTER HOTEL
2. ENTER ELEVATOR
3. PUSH BUTTON.
To go downstairs again, you can either
1. GO WEST
2. PUSH BUTTON
in which case you'll find yourself in the lobby,
outside the elevator after getting the message "You press the lobby button and ride the elevator down. You step out of the elevator and into the spacious lobby."
or
1. GO WEST
2. GO WEST (inside the elevator, that is)
in which case you'll "take a leisurely walk to the west" and end up at the lobby as well, which clearly doesn't make sense.
About the sink, I'm prette sure I found the key by typing LOOK AT SINK rather than LOOK IN SINK, but I'll have to check it again.
Edit: Don't you think it's a bit odd that LOOK AT SINK will let you find the key whereas LOOK IN SINK won't? I mean, the key is
in the sink, isn't it?
About the new version, you can still make the stone appear by typing PUT STONE ON PEDESTAL before you've actually discovered it. The room description for the room with the hive still doesn't fit after you've taken away the hive. I'm referring to the "The non-climbable tree seems to be home to a large swarm of bees that are buzzing all around the tree, and a large hole in the side. You also notice a bee hive hanging from one of the remaining tree branches." bit, which is still there in the room description, even after you've driven away the bees and taken the hive. Theoretically you'd need two alternative room descriptions, one after you've driven away the bees (in which case you'd scrap the first sentence I quoted) and another one after you've taken the hive (scrap the second one as well).
The LIGHT MAT and SMASH hive thing is fixed now, so that's fine.
A few more points: it would be a nice touch if the game recognised the commands POINT GUN AT ELMO / PREACHER / DOORMAN and BUY ATARI (at the pawnshop, obviously). Inside the cage you might consider adding HOP as a substitute for JUMP.
SMASH HIVE in front of the bear should provoke some sort of reaction. I mean, the bear is hardly going to let you eat the honey all by yourself, right?
THROW ROCK THROUGH HOLE in the room with the pedestal is another way of putting yourself in a situation in which you can't win, so maybe you should add some sort of death message after the "you wonder whether you needed it at all" bit. For example you could have the rock fall back through the hole again and knock you over the head, cracking your skull open.:P
