Do hotels reserve you a particular room or do patrons simply have a spot in the hotel reserved for them?
Some hotels do reserve rooms for specific requests i.e. disabled or family, others are as you say are a room but not defined, if the previous customer is late checking out then the timeframe set aside to refresh the room is shorter so you may get a delay.
