Speaking from the other half of my business writing websites for a living, i'd suggest you're looking at roughly £10 an image to be competitive whilst retaining copyright. Any more than that and they'd be able to buy or commission something from iStockphoto etc.

You're rather missing the point.
Sure they could buy stock photos, but stock photos wouldn't illustrate their hotel.
Hence the higher rates I suggested.
Charge what you like. If you took the image and were not photograping under another over riding contract, then you are the copyright holder.
Restrict the use by the hotel or give them unrestricted use and charge them accordingly, retain the copyright at all times and ensure that is stated in any contract. Make sure the contract is written, even if just an email exchange.
If they use them without permission you can follow that up legally for copyright infringement, in that case charge them at least double what you would have charged normal rate. If you don't know how much to pitch, start at £6/hr and work out how long it took to produce the image, and then add a bit on for mum.

How about photo's of people ( who have given verbal consent to having their photo taken, but not to it being sold).
Some examples can be found here.

The plural does not require an apostrophe.
He'd (= "he would") be wise to have someone with at least a nodding acquaintance with grammar check all he writes. As he might put it, just a matter of negotian ...... Ooops! Don't we mean "negotiation"?

From what I have observed of Ginger's apostrophies over time, I would say he is best advised not to use them at all.
I have applied that reasoning to a number of his posts and found the grammatical standard is always improved.
