The hotel's flower stand was damaged by our carelessness because of poor quality, and its hotel demanded compensation. Should I pay compensation?

If you enter the hotel, the hotel will be responsible for your safety. The flower stand you mentioned, I don't know what it looks like. If you don't see obvious warning signs, you can sit on them according to common sense. In that case, you don't need to make any compensation for the hotel. On the contrary, if you are injured because of the collapse of the flower stand, you can also ask the hotel for compensation. If it's convenient, you can take some photos of the collapsed flower stand, in case it really involves litigation as evidence in the future.

The amount involved in your case is limited, so it's better to settle it through negotiation.
