1. I don't see how any hotel can charge you, if you are forced to stay there against your will.
2. It would be ridiculously bad PR to charge quarantined hotel guests, who could easily go to the press and raise a fuss

However if you are stuck in country because of flight cancellations or the airline refuses to carry you, you are probably stuck making your own arrangements, although potentially the airlines would have "duty of care" responsibilities.

The other is a Crowne Plaza.

Why would the airline have duty of care? 'Pandemic' is an act of God.
Why should the hotel eat it? In China many people could not return. Does that mean they do not pay rent?

I would assume if I was quarantined in a hotel for 2 weeks, that I would be expected to pay for my room.
Why would it be any other way?

EC 261 says that airlines do have a duty of care if EC261 applies to the carrier and route. Airlines paid for lodging and food when people were trapped for long periods after a volcano erupted some years ago.

The exact situation someone was saying if the airline refuses to carry you or cancels flights. So far as I know, there is no place you cannot fly to yet (as in absolutely no carrier will take you there). And as for refusal to carry you, you mean if you have the virus? I'm not sure how that works.

I am simply saying that EC261 mandates duty of care during an "act of God."

I don't know the exact situation here, but there's a zero percent chance I'd willingly pay a hotel if I was forced to stay there against my will.

Obviously there are scenarios where I would pay, but it would not be willingly.

When I book a hotel room, I'm only expecting to pay what I agreed to up front. Additionally, who determines the fair room rate here, assuming that you aren't even able to use all of the hotel facilities if you are quarantined. What if you just don't have the money to pay for two additional weeks at an expensive hotel? If I am forbidden from leaving the property against my will, that becomes a problem between the government who forced the quarantine and the hotel.

I'm not sure about that either. On the wikipedia page it lists:
The definition of "extraordinary circumstances" will be further clarified to include natural disasters or air traffic control strikes, and to exclude technical problems identified during routine maintenance

I don’t get it.

You break a leg and need surgery - you pay.
Could be someone else’s fault... but you gotta pay for treatment.

You might not ‘want to’ but, you pay.

—
You may not want to pay for two weeks extra of hotel nights, but, what does that matter?
You stayed 2 weeks, the hotel is due compensation.
Why would the person who stayed in the room not pay?

And if you die, then you will sue the government for giving you the virus?

But going off your logic, who is going to pay the housekeeping staff? The kitchen staff? I presume they will work for free?
