Depends: Depends on their cleaning system. I would not trust anyone and clean it again myself.

Unsure: If some one in the room had COVID 19 and it was not properly cleaned, it could be contaminated. Per WEBMD, the virus may live on stainless steel - 2 to 3 days, a # of other metals -5 days, Aluminum - 2 to 8 hrs, Copper - 4 hrs, wood - 4 days, plastic -2 to 3 days, cardboard - 24 hrs & glass - up to 5 days.
