Whoever is responsible for the toilet overflowing is responsible for the damages. If the toilet overflowed from normal use by the occupant, then the hotel will be responsible for the damages. But if the occupants did something out of the ordinary that caused the flooding, then the occupants may be responsible.
You should consult with an attorney for a more in-depth analysis of your situation.
Good Luck!
