Forget where I saw it, but someone put forth a theory it's to discourage business travelers from sharing rooms

It would suck for a traveling family, though. The parents would be fine seeing each other, nothing they haven't seen before, but with kids there would be some serious issues.

It can also be to encourage families to book multiple rooms as well. 

Whatever it takes to increase room bookings without getting customers to start looking elsewhere.

It encouraged me to leave a 1 star review and never use that hotel again.

You're also in the demographic that will make time to say something, most will just forget about it

The more it sucks, the more likely you're to say something. So, if people are disturbed by this shit, they will try to write a complaint.

The problem might be with something like Booking because they often ask very specific questions.

Stuff like this and a bunch more encouraged me to just stop using the "hospitality industry" period.

Easy to say when you're not required to travel for work.

Also why I really want a travel trailer.

I do travel for work I just don't use hotels. I'm not going to say what I do use because I don't feel like getting harassed by keyword detectors.

If more hotels start doing this, they are just going to shove customers back into the arms of Airbnb.

Maybe. Airbnb also has its problems.

It's going to be ping pong, though. If Airbnb has another big scandal with someone having hidden cameras in the space, people will go back to hotels. If the hotels keep doing shit like this, they'll risk Airbnb. Rinse and repeat.
