If you think my opinions are harsh, so be it. We have evolved into a society of spoiled brats (at least in the US) and now we are seeing the consequences.
I note your use of the passive. That implies that there is actually no agency who acts.

"meant to STAY" by whom? Who means them to stay? Who means that gym wear is to stay in the gym? Who means that robes are to stay in the room? Neither the manufacturer of the robe (who doesn't much care) nor the supplier (the hotel) generally means the robe to stay in the room; hotel just want the robe returned there (see, e.g., many signs about wearing the robe or other cover to the pool).
