Courts have compared an innkeeper's obligation to that of a common carrier, holding that guests are entitled to a high standard of care and protection. Innkeepers are typically held to a higher standard of care than other commercial businesses.
If a guest's possessions are taken, damaged, or lost while they are at the hotel, these clauses cap the hotel operator's responsibility at either $1,000 or $500.
The only responsibility an innkeeper has when a guest's property is lost or destroyed is that of a bailee for the guest's property. An innkeeper is only accountable as a bailee for extreme carelessness.
Normally, all items a guest brings and receives inside the inn are covered by the innkeeper's liability.
