I feel like if a new startup suggested they were going to build a regular hotel on Earth in a place with good access to infrastructure, that would still be an overly optimistic timeframe unless they already had preexisting already-approved plans and ownership of the lot.
Like it's not completely materially infeasible to suggest that a well funded and well connected organization could put like a little prefab shack on the moon within the next 6 years, that might be hypothetically safe enough that as long as nothing went wrong someone could survive in it for a few days before leaving, but that would still be stretching plausibility. A startup is just gonna pocket the money and string investors along as long as they can instead, because why accomplish the shitty-but-materially-possible when you can keep saying "yeah bro just a few billion more dollars bro you can relax in your moon hotel served by robot god bro it'll be sweet bro just another trillion dollars bro" to the most credulous rubes alive and making bank doing that with no consequences ever.
