When vacating your room, part of the checkout process is "unlinking" the Roku streaming player device in your room from your Roku account. This is important since the next occupant could charge your Roku account for purchases they make.

Per ChatGPT 

Question "Can one Roku Express 4k+ player have more than one Roku account?

Answer "No, each Roku device, including the Roku Express 4k+, can only be linked to one Roku account at a time.  If you want to use a different Roku account, you would need to unlink the existing account and then link the new account to the device.  This can be done through the Roku settings menu on the device itself or through the Roku website."
