Hospitals have needs that hotels don't from the ground up. They have different architecture, interior design, and HVAC needs, they have different real estate needs, they need to be robust to natural disasters, they maintain services like ambulances and a vast records and bookkeeping system. Sanitation requirements are much higher, there's no reason to assume costs there scale linearly - think about night shifts. Hospital workers usually are more unionized than hotel workers (should a hotel room be <$100 a night?). I believe nurses do a lot of work that lower trained/skilled/paid workers would do in a hotel.

Then you can start throwing in the inflated costs due to the American insurance system, the higher liability hospitals have compared to hotels, and other factors. I'm sure people more familiar with the medical profession could add even more exacerbating factors that I don't know about. All of this isn't to say that the hospital or healthcare system isn't inefficient, but simply that hospitals and hotels are apples and oranges.
