They have a issue some may not have thought of.
Years ago, my wife and I stayed at a motel while motorcycling across the country. Five minutes into our room, we decided we wanted another room, went down to the desk, and switched rooms.
The next morning, while we were packing to continue on, we discovered we had not moved something from our first room to the second room. The people in our first room checked out ahead of us, and we lost that item.
It was not a gun, but what if someone did leave a gun in a room, and someone found it?
I cannot disagree with a hotel policy of no guns, because of what happened to me.

I would argue that you would be responsible for losing your firearm regardless of if it's a hotel room, a public restroom or anywhere else.
On a related note, I wonder if it would even be legal for a hotel to ban guns because it would be considered your dwelling? A dwelling, as defined by NE Statute 28-1406 (http://nebraskalegislature.gov/laws/statutes.php?statute=28-1406) states "...Dwelling shall mean any building or structure, though movable or temporary, or a portion thereof, which is for the time being the actor's home or place of lodging; ..." I would think that a hotel would be considered a temporary lodging, and hence a dwelling with all the things that that entails, such as no duty to retreat, etc. Of course, I'm not a lawyer and this is just my curious ramblings.

That is the way I see it too
HuskerXDM:
The hotel/motel question came up in my CHP class last Saturday. I read it the same way, Dan. But I left myself an out in case I'm wrong.

There's a mini strip mall near Galvin / Cornhusker.
Has a Papa Johns, DI's Hair Salon, Bank of NE, and a Great Dragon (or Golden Dragon or something).
Anyhoo, the parking lot for the strip mall is pretty small, and has only two entrances. Both of which are marked with a sign as no-carry.
So whoever owns the strip mall property has that stuff up.
AndyV:
There is an app for that
