The Matrix helps to figure out what spaces must be, should be, and should
not be together. The bubble diagram is a more visual way of how
these spaces will be arranged.
The bubble diagram is starting to read very clearly and I can start to see the clustering of spaces either in different areas on the site of vertically. The one question I have is the Bar and computer room should be next to one another...? I would imagine the computer room being next to the Lobby.
This could be presented more clearly. I'd like to see a series of smaller bubble diagrams that support this one. Start with only your major spaces and how they relate to one another. And their overall importance to the program. Is the Royal suite really have more importance than the banquet room? I'd think that the Lobby would have a direct relationship to all of the major spaces (big bubbles: runway, Banquet, bar, resturant, theater) as well as its own support spaces (small bubbles: business center, luggage) and some spaces wouldn't connect (janitor, laundry, administration).
That last one suggests that there needs to be a public bubble diagram that sets up your major spaces and relationships, and a support services bubble diagram for secondary (back of house) connections. You're current diagram suggests that the janitor has to go through the admin offices, lobby and then the banquet room to service the royal suite.
Try looking at each of the major spaces individually. For example, look at just the restaurant and the spaces it supports (dining, Banquett, pool room, lobby?) and the spaces that support it (delivery area, storage, trash).

Thank you for your suggestion, I will look it over.
