LEE What is the liability of a hotel for the property of a guest that is brought into a hotel? In North Carolina a hotel cannot be held liable for loss or damage of the property of a guest unless the loss results from the failure of the hotel to exercise ordinary care. Even then the hotel cannot be used for an amount in excess of $100 if required notices have been posted. However, if a guest notifies the hotel in writing that his property exceeds $100 in value, and furnishes it with a list of the property and its value the hotel may be held liable for any loss or damage to the property resulting from negligence on its part. Proof of the loss of any such property, except in the case of damage or destruction by fire, is deemed prima facie evidence of the negligence of the hotel.
