Chapter 12 mentions the hotel’s liability for loss of property of non-guests. The chapter refers to the hotel owner as the bailee and the guest as the bailor; noting that when a hotel agrees to hold the non-guests property for safekeeping the hotel is legally a bailee and is generally bound by the applicable legal standard of care. This means the hotel may be liable for the non-guests’ property if it is damaged or lost.
