That's definitely the main reason. Keep some cheap monsters in a cheap hotel, and it pumps up the happiness and earning rate of the other monsters on the island. With the Unity Tree, of course.

The only other reason I can think of is that you may want to rearrange your display at times, and keeping monsters in storage is easier than getting rid of them and breeding new ones. For example, I don't want the Blabbit on my Water Island most of the year (I get tired of seeing and listening to a drowning rabbit), but I bred him and kept him during the Easter season, and I might want to get him out again same time next year.

The basic hotel (10 beds) is dirt cheap, and presumably you already have the Unity Tree. Look at the coins added by having it, having some monsters in it, and thereby keeping other monsters happier, and you'll see how quickly it'll pay for itself. The higher-paying monsters that you want are worth a lot more with the hotel than without it.
