Hotel was always dependent on Dynasty, and that had begun its slide, so yeah, that might've been a part of the change.
But I think more importantly, Love Boat had floundered until it got cancelled in May 1986. I think they saw that the format was on its last legs, especially with shows like Glitter and Finder of Lost Loves not gathering any steam in the 1984-85 season (which were also variations of the Love Boat formula). That probably was more of a factor to the change.
(Season 4 is the 1986-87 season, so it's directly after Love Boat got canned)
