Yeah I don't get the paranoia about this. They have every right to make sure you aren't doing something nefarious in their room. It's not like a hotel room BELONGS to you... it BELONGS to them, and you are simply renting it for a brief period. If you owned it, that would be different, but you don't. A similar concept exists with apartments in most states: the landlord always has the right (with some limitations on notice) to enter the apartment for really any reason, including to make sure you aren't trashing the place.
