Would a hotel pass for unlimited stays work in the hospitality industry?

A recent Hospitality Net World Panel viewpoint discussed the feasibility of a pass for unlimited stays would work for hotels. The viewpoint discusses the idea of hotels offering a pass for unlimited stays, similar to the "all you can fly" promotion recently announced by Frontier Airlines. Experts in the hospitality industry were interviewed, and opinions are mixed. Some believe that the idea could work for large hotel chains with multiple locations, but with limitations such as no more than one or two nights stay at any property per quarter. Others believe that the idea is more of a publicity stunt and would ultimately lead to customer dissatisfaction due to the restrictions and availability challenges that would be required to make it work. Some suggest that a subscription model with a fixed number of nights for a monthly fee would offer more potential for innovation in pricing structure.
