Nice idea! What did you use for your hotel dataset source? I've been wanting to work on travel based app idea with hotel integration, but seems like most providers (like booking.com) lock down their data.

Do you hear that noise? It sounds like something is scraping
Interesting idea and execution! So basically you wanted to find hotels where the rooms have office chairs and a desk? Or just in any of the images, e.g., a lobby? Side note; I love how YOLO, a deep learning based model, is now being referred to as traditional object detection. Template matching gang rise up.

I just looked at hotels I'm familiar with, and images with highlighted chairs were not limited to the guest rooms. Some are definitely from shared spaces at the hotel.
IMHO There is a huge gap for affordable hotels for normadic workers and business people. Hotel rooms suck when you need to use them for work. Typically there are massive beds and I travel alone if for work. There is no proper chair, no writing table at all or one too small, and the sockets tend to be in the wrong corner of the room. If I was an entrepreneur outside of software looking for a gap, I might have invented…
Depends on where you're looking. There are usually plenty of "business" oriented hotels near airports, business parks, central business districts, convention centers, etc . (And that definitely reflects on the trip office map). Touristy areas have more tourist/traveller oriented amenities.
The one with a room they call business center which has a printer and a fax machine?

Take a look at CitizenM. I travel a lot for work and that is my go-to place due to how tailored it is for also getting work done.

I travel a lot and I agree that most hotels suck for work. But the primary function of a hotel is to provide a safe place to sleep. If I want to do work, my best bet is to stay late in the office where I spent the day, since most people will leave at some point. I get good chairs there, large rooms and monitors if I need. It's much better than trying to retrofit a small hotel room into something else.

I usually stand at the ironing board (they're typically height adjustable). Keyboard goes on board, laptop goes on trashcan which is on board (just to get the screen higher). I usually bring some paracord so I can tie the whole contraption to something heavy so it doesn't wobble. Sometimes I'll use the cord to hang a second travel monitor from some nearby art--still working on a proper harness for it.
How did you go with duplicate detection? (For context, aside from being amazingly generally useful to anyone with non trivially edited images, lots of hotel chains reuse content)
Perceptual hashes are very good for that, maybe with some adjustments for mirrored images and some crops
