If it's on lockdown, they aren't making money from that room whether you stay or not so really it comes down to costs. You minimize costs.. eliminate extra amenities during the lock down if needed. Cut back housekeeping if needed. Cut back free food etc
What if you are allowed to leave the hotel, but not leave a six-block radius? So it has nothing to do with the hotel.
