Rant over.
Your Google search should have found this:
The
ceiling you see, in these
hotel rooms, is often the underside of the concrete slab for the floor above. They do not
have a drop
ceiling or other cavity space in which it is easy to hide electrical conduit and
light fixtures. The reason for this construction is that it is economical and very fast.
