Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hotels have a legal right, known as a lien, to retain a guest's belongings for nonpayment in many jurisdictions. This acts as security for the debt owed by the guest. Additionally, hotels can deny access to the room (lock-out) until payment is made, as part of their management rights and to ensure payment for services rendered. However, the specific rights and procedures can vary by local laws and regulations.
