I'm wondering what kind of policy changes a motel could institute that would prevent people using drugs (or dying as a result) in their rooms? Search every guest's person and baggage for drugs? Put video cameras in the rooms? Discriminate against customers who look "shady"? Barge in on their customers in the middle of the night to check for illegal activity? Examine their customers' arms and legs for needle tracks before doing business with them?
Also, how many upscale hotels that cater to people in the entertainment industry (for example) haven't had 15 drug-related crimes in 14 years (about one per year)?
Previously mentioned, as though it were damming: "its drug countermeasures consisted of a list of persons not to rent to again."
And exactly what do more reputable hotels do besides that? If I were so inclined, I could get myself a reservation in any hotel in the city and do whatever drugs I wanted. Only after they discovered this could they prevent me from doing it again.
