I think the implication was that some asshole can obtain photos of you sleeping by opening the curtains and switching on the lights in the middle of the night. A nuisance, sure, but also a massive violation of privacy.

So, somebody is going to set up shop across the way, in what is probably another commercial building, commit a couple of crimes, all to take a picture of some random, likely unidentifiable person sleeping in a hotel bed?
Personally, I'm not very worried about that.
I mean, it's not like there aren't easier attack vectors for creeping on people in hotel rooms if you were so inclined.
You or I, probably not. But just this week Erin Andrews won a $55 million legal case where somebody had intentionally booked a room next-door to her hotel room, then modified the peephole to her room, in order to film her naked. Certainly, there's people intent on prying into the private lives of others.
I would say most hotels have a first floor with rooms.
I was at one recently where the "balcony" was connected by a small path to the pool, so it was purposefully easy to access.
