As the saying goes, "the difference is in the details." Those details are the charge of the Housekeeping Department.

Individuals who excel in our Housekeeping Departments have an eye for detail and a commitment to the training, development and motivation of a diverse group of talented employees. In a competitive hotel market, it is service and cleanliness that really make an impact on our guests and determine whether they will return.

Most do, in times of crisis or diaster they evict people but only when generators run out of fuel which is like 3 days or some just keep refueling them, schools, hospitals, hotels and fire stations and some gas stations are required to have them and nursing homes usually do too. I stayed at a Marriott once when the power was out for days in the winter when my home got cold and it was nice it felt normal and the most important thing was it was safe, also they may charge extra to your stay due to costs of fuel for the generators.

Porter's Five Forces Model simply outlines the five most important factors taking place and shaping an industry in order to determine it's attractiveness for new entrants, or as a means to shape strategy for competitors within the industry. They are:
Bargaining Power of Buyers. Example - Few buyers means they may have more say over final product pricing.
Bargaining Power of Supplier. Ex - Many suppliers of the same product in a region (Steel, for example) would typically mean firms enjoy lower purchase prices on these inputs.
Threat of Substitutes. Ex - If you make a grain based cereal, you are pitting it against not only other grain based cereals, but other grain based, or "healthy" style breakfasts. The Threat of substitutes is high.
Threat of New Entrants. Ex - Is it easy for competitors to enter your industry because of: low startup costs, few existing competitors in a large market, easy to understand/use product? OR, is it a challenge because of the difficult nature of the business (example: diamond exploration, which is both difficult and cost prohibitive)
Intensity of Competition. Ex - Are there a lot of players a in small market (Intense) or very few players in a large market (Not intense).
Those are Porter's Five Forces. Simply ask the questions of the industry you are examining.
Statistically, a hotel cannot be rated higher than 5 stars, as 5 is the maximum.
