It's possible that one side or the other is set for Single-Duplex, and that will generate just this kind of problem.
Question: Is the "new/old" router the Hotel one or the Restaurant one?
Question: Have you verified no packet loss from the Hotel switch to the Restaurant switch?
Question: You've run DHCP from both the router and the server - a Duplicate IP addresses will cause all kinds of havoc. Have you checked that they used different chunks of the range when giving out IPs? Example, 192.168.0.0/24 network, Server DHCP has 192.168.0.10-99, Router DHCP has 192.168.0.100-199.

To be clear, I am asking if what I put was the setup. I didn't include the WAN. I'm assuming the Linksys router has multiple ports that can be used to router between networks or as a switch.

Sorry, was referring to the diagram Welch put up

I recommend beer, you deserve it.

like at this new job i just got, the previous admin purposely disabled STP/RSTP on ALL of the switches. like "no rstp" on the CLI.
still trying to figure out why...

We tried to use one particularly long run and found there was no signal going through whatsoever, Since we were going to have to use the same endpoints, and therefore presumably the same cable routing, we traced the cable out of the back of the house and into the bar. The guy I was working with, who had started from the other end, stopped and said "Well, there's your problem." He then used his penknife to pry a bullet out of the baseboard, where it had precisely severed the ethernet cable.
