Liability in the innkeeper-guest relationship is based as a matter of law either upon the innkeeper’s supervision, care, or control of the premises,12 or by reason of a contract which some courts have implied from the entrustment by the guest of his personal comfort and safety to the innkeeper. In the latter analysis, the contract is held to give the guest the right to expect a standard of treatment at the hands of the innkeeper which includes an obligation on the part of the latter to exercise reasonable care in protecting the guest.13
