IMHO the hotel is thinking more about risk mitigation than it is of any sort ot discrimination. And, furthermore when considering what actions an individual does that is not really discriminatory as that individual has an active choice as to what they do or do not do... I believe the definition of discrimination is when someone is penalized due to some characteristic they did not have a choice in, such as gender or country of origin etc

So if the hotel is trying to prevent, say a group people joining together to rent a room for a party, or say self isolation like others have noted, etc etc then no that doesn't fit the definition of discrimination rather it fits the definition of wise business decision 🤔
