I believe the above poster is saying that hotels want their staff to periodically barge in with little warning just to catch the rare moment when there's an alarming array of guns or a dead person or something other than recreational amounts of drugs laying in plain sight.
It would be very shitty policy to "barge in with little warning". Rooms are checked regularly, but there should be quite a bit of knocking, and in the event it is deadbolted and the hotel guest refuses to open the door, or arrange a time the room can be inspected, then hotel management should be convened. Only after initial contact has been made and the hotel guest unreasonably refuses to allow access for an unreasonable period of time should hotel management "barge" in, or call the police.
