Question by mn_mikaelian: Is a hotel room considered a public place or a private place?
Not the hotel itself, but if you book a room. Is your room considered private property while your there, and can anyone enter without your consent (unless they have a warrant of course)

Best answer:

Answer by Obviousman
It’s a private place. But it’s not YOUR private place. The hotel owner and its agents can enter (hotel employees, etc) during the course of their normal duties. This means that housekeeping staff, valets, bellboys, etc can enter.

If a police officer needs to enter, they just need probable cause and permission of the hotel owner.

So what’s up? Somebody walk in on you and you want to sue them?
