As we know that North is always on the up side of map. So consider a map where drug store is in neutral position and hotel is 2 block east of drug store . Then think of 1 block west in respect to hotel. Then
(north)
(West)drug store-market-hotel(east)
(South)
'-' = one block
(north)
(West)drug store-market-hotel(east)
(South)
'-' = one block

The drugstore is west of the market but the market is east of the drugstore
(West) ---- drugstore ---- market ---- hotel ---- (east).
If we are standing at the market then the drugstore will be to our west but if we are standing at the drugstore then the market will be to our east.
(West) ---- drugstore ---- market ---- hotel ---- (east).
If we are standing at the market then the drugstore will be to our west but if we are standing at the drugstore then the market will be to our east.

The question formation is inappropriate, because in the first statement it is given the hotel is 2 blocks east of the drugstore. So in that case we will take the first statement in granted. Then analyse the second one. This is according to my opinion. If I am wrong, then kindly explain me to rectify.

For example take your house and your neighbours house.
Your house has east, west, north, south directions and your neighbours too have that directions. Right.
So here the hotel has its directions and market & drugstore too have.
So (west). Drugstore. Market. Hotel. (east).
The hotel is two blocks east of the drugstore means hotel is in east.
The market is one block west of the hotel means market is in west to hotel.
Your house has east, west, north, south directions and your neighbours too have that directions. Right.
So here the hotel has its directions and market & drugstore too have.
So (west). Drugstore. Market. Hotel. (east).
The hotel is two blocks east of the drugstore means hotel is in east.
The market is one block west of the hotel means market is in west to hotel.

Its sortta simple first comes the hotel then 1 block west lies the market and 2 blocks west lies the drugstore.
So when we see the hotel lies on the east side of the drugstore!

(West)-------drugstore----market------hotel------(East)

:
(South)
So when we see the hotel lies on the east side of the drugstore!
