I can see them here and there, in parks or even public lawns. A giant hotel was built in Warsaw recently which broke the Guiness book record: I have been thinking of building some on our farm but I constantly lack time. Besides, there are so many opportunities for insects to find shelter on the premises that building one is senseless. If I do it, it will be for kids` educational purposes.

I'm kind of puzzled about this "Insect Hotel" concept. It seems to me that it is risky to encourage insects to congregate in large numbers in a particular area. Hmmm...I think it's better to let nature take its course providing insects with hotels. I think, though, that there are probably some hotels in New York City that might qualify as insect hotels due to their populations of Cockroaches! And then, there are the ever-abundant Bed Bugs as well...

I have never seen such a hotel sieged by birds or other predators. Humans have to aid nature in so many ways that one more doesn`t matter, really. Yes, due to that cockroach invasion I fled NYC and didn`t stop until I found a safe haven in Poland. |

Infestations of some kinds of insects can be annoying (and even possibly dangerous) for people in the area. My thought is that there are enough natural "insect hotels" made by the insects themselves, and that's probably how nature intended it to be.
