Folks...read the research and take a deep breath. Scientific opinion is quickly reaching near-consensus that, while feasible, surface transmission is a very minimal to nearly nonexistent infection vector. This is proving to be a disease of sustained exposure, enclosed spaces, and high viral loads, as was originally hypothesized. People are not getting it by passing each other on the street or touching a light switch that housekeeping touched 3 hours before. Of course it is imperative to have situational awareness, take reasonable precautions, and avoid needless risk, but some of these concerns are simply not borne out by the data. I am not stepping into any form of mass transit any time soon, and I'll be taking the stairs over the elevator, but hotel stays (in the context of my own room) are not strongly concerning to me.
