Never saw those before...but then again I stick with the Hilton brand, and this could be a Marriott thing.
Shouldn't be a problem unless you go waving it around . . .

Looks like a Beretta M9. So long as you aren't carrying one of those you'll be fine.
While the sign is a hand gun, snooping around online revealed reports that Marriotts in North Carolina included long guns in their ban. It's easy to conceal a hand gun and nobody knows you have it, but long guns not so much. So if your on a hunting trip, off to a trap or clays tourney, or whatever and need to spend the night in a hotel, better call ahead and check their policy before booking.

Nobody is going to see anything concealed, but that is the cheesiest restriction sign I've ever seen. Not having any text leaves it up to your interpretation. I'd interpret it as "No Open Carry" and go on my merry way.
No black guns,...... Stainless & nickel are OK 
Saw this sign at the Sheraton in Atlanta while I was at NRAAM. Booked through NRA no less.
Needless to say, it was not being enforced that weekend.

This is usually just legal Cover-your-patootie.
Nobody, least of all generally underpaid hotel employees, is generally interested in enforcing such policies unless you rub your gun in their faces, maybe by untimely open carry or by picking an argument over the sign with a staff member who likely had no part in the decision.
Their corporate lawyers probably believe this will afford the hotel some protection if some clown has an AD and shoots a kid in the next room through the wall.

Florida Law
If you are licensed to carry concealed in Florida and are asked to leave the hotel/store, you must comply.

Check reciprocity agreements.

No Guns signs
We had a grocery store chain(now defunct) that gave in to anti-gun hysteria when we became a "shall issue" state. I went to their help desk and told them I would not shop there. They tried to weasel by using a real small sticker hidden among others on the doors.
The chain is defunct now.

What sign? I don't see a sign. I have a hard time seeing those signs.
Work has a "No firearms or weapons allowed on premises" decal on the doors. Yet I know all security carries open on their belts (ok - I know it's nit-picking... but), and I know several co-workers (mostly women) who carry in their purses or back packs. If circumstances in my "neighborhood" have been questionable (I walk to work), I carry my 637 or my 60 underarm in an upside-down shoulder, and take it off when I get in my office.

This. Although the point is made by Imissedagain
about having a firearms concealed carry permit can
also increase one's risk if somehow the gun is
fired in defense or accidentally.

Put a rubber band around your gun so its banned.
Then you should be OK.

Those signs don't stop bullets.
Unless I am going to face a felony charge I am not going to allow a sign to stop me in protecting my family and myself.

Since I am only licensed in Oregon and as a Utah out-of-state resident, I'm not licensed to carry in Florida. I'm good to go. Marriott, here I come!
