Well, here's my review of the map...
-Very bland texturing... everywhere
-Vertex textures... everywhere
-Misaligned lights
-A heap of possible unintended solutions
-Didn't need the faith plate in the second test
-Didn't need the blue gel, orange gel, laser, and laser catcher in the third test
-Hotel part just... doesn't make sense
Also, here is my (extremely unintended) solution video:

Not completely bad for a first Hammer map Shane... good luck to more Hammer maps

I didn't use Vertex textures, not knowingly anyway. And which lights are misaligned?
Great map really fun i did enjoy it i rated this 5 and for my own rate out o 10 i would say 8.5 lets see what you can do next!
I'm glad you enjoyed it.
I also think I know where I went wrong now, I forgot to enable texture lock whils re-sizing my blocks. D'oh! I think i'll just leave that as is and instead just try to design out some of the exploits, and apply what I learnt to any new maps!
Updated to V 1.1, fixed some of those exploits and realigned a lot of the textures. They're in line with each other now, but out of line with the door frames. I know it still doesn't look pretty but fixing that would require me to completely redo the entire map. However I realise what I did wrong with that one and I will eliminate the mistake in future maps.
How would it require you to redo the whole map? Just use the texture face tool to reset the values.

I did reset the values, that's what I changed in the latest update. But they're still out of alignment with the door frame. I believe because I forgot to disable texture lock when I resized my brushes they're slightly messed up and it would mean re-brushing massive areas of the entire map. Rather than do that i'll just remember to account for it in future maps.
As for the lighting: I changed some of the upstairs lighting to direction lights, hopefully it should look better now.
Heh, cheers that was quite a nice varied and fun map 
Some bits didn't make sense.. like the grassy patches after the acid but I enjoyed it anyhoo, thanks!
