The fact you consider hotel room time 'questionable' shows how far the table is stacked in favour of the employers.
You exist in a place you have no control over, far away from family, with dramatically curtailed freedom over activities you can perform. It doesn't matter whether you are 'labouring'. You wouldn't be there otherwise. Doing that for free is selling yourself short.

Do people get minimum wage and unpaid travel? Usually the travel requirement is part of the job earning a higher salary, and includes upgrades comfort of accommodations.
