Hotels require a vastly more dense plumbing structure, I don't think it's easy or cheap to retrofit onto an office building.

Hotels with dorm like shower systens maybe could work. I think something like a hostel.

That being said you cant charge much when you are forcing customers to share bathrooms.

Well, shared bathroom means zero stars so yeah, you basically can't call it a hotel anymore.
