Really???

How much do you think it would cost to decontaminate a day room vs a night room at a hotel for Covid-19?

For the hotel to avoid liability, cleaning standards would have to be the same for either, and I suspect that those costs are far more than what a facility use to pay to turn over a room prior to the pandemic.

I doubt that this is a money maker in the classic fashion. However, it will keep the staff employed and the hotel open and occupied, thereby mitigating the possibility of vandelism and break-ins if the site were closed and only patrolled by security.
