I'd expect the hotel to already have a payment method on file, and possibly have pre-cleared a large charge to hedge against consumption or damage (with unused portion of the charge removed during checkout).

Contrast with the typical restaurant.

Hotels generally handle this very graciously, having indeed a pre-clearance on a payment method.

Moreover, trespassers, in addition to pursuit, often get flagged in a shared « do not host » book file across hotel lines.
