Many hotels ban guns entirely from their premises through the use of posted gun free zone signage making them advertised soft targets with no timely defense. This practice places all guests and employees of such sites at increased risk as evidenced by the fact that nearly all mass killings in the USA of late occurred in posted gun free zones such as schools, universities, and night clubs. Most states don't require disclosure of these policies at the time of booking meaning guests who arrive at the hotel and discover this unsafe practice are forced to pay cancellation fees or stay in a location they find unsafe. Those with concealed carry permits also have no choice when arriving at such sites but to pay cancellation fees or park offsite and leave their guns in their vehicle.
