Why? It's not illegal or even against policy in many parts of the US to bring in all sorts of dangerous things. For instance - while moving from Arkansas to Virginia in 2013, I had a rifle with me in the U-Haul, and didn't want to leave it in the vehicle for it to be stolen. I just slung it barrel-down over my shoulder and carried it with all of my family's bags to the room, right past the front desk. It was a folding AK variant, which I chose for the trip because it was easy to keep accessible behind the seats' headrests, so if they were going to have an issue with a rifle that would probably be the one. Not only is this sort of thing fairly typical in many places, in some (most?) states a hotel room is considered a domicile, and it's illegal to ban firearms as a condition of renting the room.
