Which structure is less likely to suffer damage during an earthquake: a high-rise, steel frame hotel built on sediments, or a wood frame house built on bedrock?

the high rise steel frame building would receive the most damage because earthquake waves don't go through more solid things as easy. That is why earthquakes don't pass through the Earth's core. So the steel hotel would probably take the most damage because it is tall, heavy, AND on lighter sediments. It would probably just fall over while the wooden one would just shake around a bit.
