As a user, I was very surprised to discover this! For example, it means that if you want your hotel server to have some environment variable set, MY_VAR=... hotel start won't work. (Actually, on linux, it will work the first time, and then not subsequently. From reading the source, I think on mac it will never work, but I haven't tested.) Anyways, it seems like a useful thing to document. I even called it a feature ;-) .

The correct way to set an env var is MY_VAR=... hotel add ... -e MY_VAR.
