Whoa whoa hang on ... I've never even heard of liability insurance when renting a hotel room. Is this standard in the US? Do other countries have it?

This is something covered by the personal liability portion of either homeowners insurance or renters insurance you've already purchased for your own residence.

Protip - renters insurance is a great deal, it's dirt cheap, only a few bucks a month.

There is one small caveat which I think is far outweighed by the benefits - I had my car broken into at a restaurant where my Surface 4, a macbook and my notebook (the most valuable thing!) was stolen. Renters insurance fully covered it. but three years later in another state, one insurance company refused to offer me renter's insurance because of this incident ( per the agent). I had to go to a different company.

Great advice. And read every word of the policy. I was surprised by some of what's covered, like spoiled food from a power outage.
