Not op, but I bet that I can guess. Bad water heater. Legionnaire thrives in a very specific band of temperature. If the water heater is faulty it can’t keep the temperature high enough to kill it but it does keep it warm enough that the bacteria grows out of control. Open your mouth in the shower and voilà. You get the shits for a week straight. There’s a reason that heater’s temperature is mandated by construction codes and it should be part of inspections. A badly configured one is a biohazard in waiting.
That and poorly managed buffets are the bane of hotels.
Wait, what? How?
