I wanted to shed a bit of light on the situation at hand. I am the general manager of an extended stay Marriott hotel and want to let you know that all hotel chains have a similar requirement. It may not have been communicated properly but I can better explain the reasons why. We have an obligation to protect our asset (the building/ other guests and you). If a guest refuses us entry it can cause us liability in a variety of different area. We are not entering looking for guns or drugs, but we have to know that you are not building/ maintaining a meth lab ( which sadly happens in budget extends stay hotels and motels). If the guest is damaging or hoarding it can cause extensive damage to the room and possible affect other guests. Most importantly, if you have booked the room for any real length of time and injur your self for worse pass away we may not know for weeks if they are not able to even peek into the room. Please remember they are not doing it to invade your privacy they are doing it because it is innkeeper
Law and one day you may be glad they did.
That is unless you actually have something that you are doing that is illegal.

Hope this sheds some light.
