I'm writing on behalf of my brother-in-law, a hotel manager. He has had a pair of guests (both male) who tryst at his hotel and leave the room in very bad condition. They leave the room smeared with feces and blood among other things. When there is blood involved, the hotel has to pay to bring in a professional cleaning service, but when there is no blood, his housekeepers have to clean the room. Linens have to be thrown away, as well as mattresses and other higher-priced items.
Apparently, this pair are each married to a woman and have a pattern of cycling through the hotels in town and leaving the rooms in a similar state. It is assumed that their wives are not aware of this relationship. It seems that when the hotels try to ban them from staying there again, the two men claim that this would be a human rights violation because they are gay.

What is the recourse for the hotel company, manager and staff? Is it true that human rights laws are this powerful and protect them even though they are, in a sense, vandals?
If the law is vague and they can't be banned outright, is there a way that the hotel can post a sign or add to their check-in agreement that vandals will risk losing their privilege to stay at the hotel? Or what rights does the hotel have to bill them for their destruction?
I'm sorry for the complexity of this question, but the situation is truly stranger than fiction.

Any business has the right to refuse service to anyone. Additionally, the police can be called for wanton destruction of private property, AND the hotels can sue them civilly for the damages and cleanup costs. There is no problem here that can't be fixed with just a couple of phone calls. This isn't complicated at all.

the hotel owner reserves the right to refuse any guest/s accommodation he does not have to give a reason. (based upon the fact that the building belongs to him he doesn't have to let anyone in if he does not want to) in the case of your brother in law he is acting for and on behalf of the owner-if any guest has a greivance then they must take it up with him (the owner)-after finding out the facts of these two undesirables i dare say the owner of your brother-in laws hotel would agree with his decision. in any event if i were challenged and accused of homophobia i would admit as much on the grounds i do not beleive that two men should indulge in carnal knowledge with one another. guaranteed they wouldn't try to check into my hotel again!!.

You can refuse service to anyone you want when they try to check-in.
