There is also the "innkeeper" law in many places which allows the 
guest to stay provided he pays. This comes in handy if you are
stranded in a place because of weather or other factors. Of course
"pays" can mean a number of different things, and the hotel is not
required to honor any special rate etc. I got stuck in Atlanta for
about 5 days following 9/11/2001 and excercised my right to stay
put.
