Keeps track of everyone. There will be defenses, whatever we can muster, but one key point to survival is sticking together and accounting for everyone's wherabouts. Plus, with everyone in a semi-secluded hall, you minimize the chance a zombie can spot us. That way the only time anyone (non-raider) is elsewhere is if they're sleeping or in the bathroom.
Alas, they don't usually build them like that. Although, I have been to one hotel that was set up in such a way that rooms started on the third floor, and meeting areas were on the second. That particular hotel's lobby was all tall glass and open space with escalators, though. Terrible to defend.
Most hotel convention centers have their main halls on the first floor, and the upper floors are all rooms. We're assuming that's the setup.
I don't like to take chances with zombies and I am distrustful in such a situation. Also, recall that most of us got to NY by plane; we were in the air while the initial infection might have been spreading on the ground. We don't know about those people. One of them might be a carrier. Hell, there may be zombies IN the hotel, people who went outside before our arrival or while we were busy having fun, they started to feel under the weather and went back to their room. Couple hours later, zombie. Hence the room sweeps and survivor checks.
Never, ever, EVER take unnecessary risks in a zombie situation. Not checking someone because it's improbable that they are a zombie is the biggest mistake you can make. The BIGGEST, hands down. Hell I'd check anyone in OUR party who was outside shortly before the news broke, but considering we were ALL in the hall at the time, we're all ok.
