No, not common to surrender your passport to a hotel. In fact it is illegal in the US. I’ve had my passport taken in Europe while the front desk fills out paperwork but I either wait, or they bring it up to me within the hour.

That was my understanding too. Illegal in the US. Restricting someone’s travel sounds a lot like kidnapping.
