How much cost does daily cleaning presumably add to a hotel room? I'm imagining that the 20 or 30 minutes of labor is the majority of it. So like $10-15 dollar

  No, you're probably about right on a marginal basis. When hotel chains give loyalty points credit, they give about $5-10 worth. If you do it systematically at the level of an entire hotel/apartment, you can probably save more. But still. Probably less than $25-30 which isn't nothing competitively to slice off a room rate even at expensive urban hotel prices. (Or to add to your profit given that I honestly don't really care much about or value daily cleaning and, to be honest, it can be a bit of a nuisance.) Just one more cost (from the perspective of the consumer) to take out of the system, which someone was making money to supply.

  It depends on how consistently the hotel is occupied and how many rooms you can amortize the labor costs over. Quality housekeepers cannot be spun up on demand, so if you are not giving them consistent pay, then they will find something else, but you need to consistently sell room nights in order to do that.
