Yes. Most employees are at-will meaning they can be fired at any time for any or no reason. Electronic defamation is actually a very good reason. Contract employees are subject to the terms of their contract - but electronic defamation is probably covered as an acceptable reason for termination.

If a hotel owner tells their guests why their employee was fired can that employer get sued for defamation of character?
It isn't a very smart thing for an employer, or ex-employer to do as far as customer relations are concerned, unless the information is couched in terms which don't identify the employee in any way; the employer could say, we're sorry there have been a few problems, but we've taken immediate steps to ensure it doesn't happen again. To do otherwise simply reflects badly on the workplace and management. If the hotel owner is lying to guests about the reasons for firing an employee, and either naming the employee or making it clear who they're talking about, there could well be a case for defamation. You'd have to prove defamation exists. The relevant union might be the former employee's first place of reference, or legal aid. Privacy legislation, as well as industrial law, would also be involved here.
