I haven't seen this in a while so excuse me if this was explained....
But why didn't the hotel just throw some dry wall over the door and cement it so that the room doesn't even exist? What's the point leaving the room available and and occupy-able with sheets and lights and fridge anD stuff? If it's so evil, wouldnt it make sense to just close it off so ppl can't even ask to stay in it?
People who knew the room was supernatural and evil didn't want anyone to be anywhere near the room except to clean it.
shareThe Japanese company that owned the Dolphin hotel just wanted to pretend there was no problem.
When they were in the elevator they discussed this before going to the room.
But if someone rents the room then the problem is all over the papers. Pretending there is no problem would be stripping the room and taking out the plumbing/electric/heat and locking the door so they never have to worry about it being rented.

Did you even watch the movie?? They made it quite clear that the room was not for rent. They simply have to pretend that every rooms are occupied without even reveling about the room.
When Mike called to book a reservation, they were clear on the fact that the room is not available. Any sane human being would be scared away after hearing the stories about it.
Mike was simply a stubborn idiot who needed to satisfy his ego by proving that ghosts don't exist. So he harassed the hotel until they had no choice left other than allow him to use the room.
No need to say, he was wrong big time..

There are millions of Mike type people in the country. If they stripped the room of all essential amenities a person would need while renting, they'd have no obligation to rent the room out at all. Mike couldn't demand to stay overnight in a utility room. By keeping it stocked and serviced they allowed the discrimination loophole to be available.
