My first impression is that it might attract shady people because they could pre-stalk their dorm roommates before staying with them.
I'm not saying it couldn't work though :)

Thanks for the feedback!
So, given what you said, does that mean that you think it would be better if people didn't know who you were staying with beforehand?
Thanks...

Not sure... it's different than a hostel because showing up a a hostel is casual. Booking a hotel room with a specific stranger is making an appointment. Could be awkward.
- Maybe one person books for social reasons and the other person books for price reasons only.
- Or one person is looking for a dating opportunity and the other person just wants a cheap place to stay.
- Or one person wants a cheap place to sleep and the other person wants to bring outsiders into the hotel room for a crazy party.
- if your roommate isn't working out, a hotel probably won't let you change rooms unless you pay more.
Easier to avoid weird situations in a hostel because there is no "appointment" with the other guests and you can typically move to a different dorm room if things aren't working out.
