I've done a bit of travelling too.In my own country and others. You're right.In fact I think you've understated what is implied in the contract between hotel guests and hotelier.:Eg includes safety (fire escapes,building up to code etc) and the hotel must be as described in any signs or brochures. Not sure about how one defines 'clean'. I'm satisfied if the place is at least as clean as my own house,with fresh linen. The bathroom must be spotless.
Of course consumer legislation varies between countries, even states but I think not being abused is a pretty basic part of the contract. I'd have sued his arse too.
The dozens of hotels and motels in which I've stayed have been pretty much as you say. The exceptions are private back packers' hostels. Some of these establishments can be best described as 'toilets'. (In one place in Dublin I wasn't game to take a shower because the bathroom was so filthy.)
