Precise locations, time spent at each location. And device information (model, OS), super cookie association. And if it asks permissions: contacts and photos, etc. sounds like parent would grant these permissions out of app love.

You know, Phone OSs these days have a "allow location only while using the app" permission. I only need the app while I'm at my room or while checking out.

You can also reject contact and photos permissions to apps. None of the hotel apps have asked me for these.
