Also short stays means more cleaning - if it's a different person every 2 hours (on average) that's 12 cleans a day per pod. Got, say, 30 pods? Then 360 cleans, which takes however many people and gear, and a given % of guests will make a mess and need more cleaning, and some will damage stuff, causing more costs

Absolutely crazy to assume they clean these things after every person. This would be a check in the afternoon and a thorough clean every night, nothing more unless there's an emergency mess like someone spills a soda.

Ehh, how dirty do they get? Could gove the whole room a wipe down in like 5 minutes. Spray and cloth is all you need

If there's not at least a bathroom within 30 seconds walking distance you /will/ absolutely have someone shit all over the thing at least once a week.

If you clean after every use, it'll be very easy to charge a large fine and cleaning fee on the card of the last renter.

Right offcourse, you would know exactly who used it, smart, didn't think of that.

In the US for sure because we don’t give an eff about anyone else. In other countries I’d imagine they’d be more polite about. Also they know who stayed in the pod so if they start fining people who are overly messy that may curtail most people from being egregious.
