No, it is not a law. Walk policies are standard for any half decent hotel brand. “Walk” is when you get sent from one hotel to another due to the hotel’s fault. Perhaps overbooking, or maintenance issue, or computer/clerical error, etc.

The one time this happened to me, the hotel gave me a $100 gift shop gift card and put me in a penthouse suite normally reserved for diplomats.

There was fresh fruit and chocolate, a kitchen, an office, a living room, and two bedrooms.
