I need to create an ERD for a hotel, the question reads as follows:

"The owner of a set of hotels would like to have a hotel management system built for his or her
hotels. The hotels are located in major cities and tourist attraction areas of South Africa. In each
hotel, employees are hired to perform various duties. In each hotel, guests make reservations for
rooms of their choice, and they are billed according to the type of room they have reserved. Given
the business scenario above, please draw an entity relationship diagram indicating all entities and
relationships (cardinality). "
This is what I have created:

My Questions
if Employee_ID is a foreign_key in Hotel, will it be a foreign_key in Employees table aswell or
does it just change to a Primary key?

Is it correct / okay to add Hotel_code, and Room_ID in the Reservation table? Is Hotel_CODE a
foreign key in RESERVATION table?

Is the overall design of the ERD correct or to an acceptable level including keys and attributes

If someone could skim this over for me it would be much appreciated

Take this with a grain of salt as I'm not 100% sure:

The Employee shoud have a foreign key to the Hotel_code (assuming one employee does not
work for multiple hotels)
The hotel does not have a foreign key to the employee
The reservation should have a foreign key to the hotel_code
The Guest does not need a foreign key to the reservation
Guest_Id should not be part of reservations PK
the bill should have a foreign key to the reservation instead of to the guest
the reservation could have additional information about the duration of the stay
the room does not need a guest_id and res_nr
