When I understand 'all the people or things' 'all the' also covers things like all the things?
And I think that just 'the others' like

In the sentences you listed above, the word "all" is used as an intensifier, for emphasis and effect only, and can be omitted in every sentence, with no change is meaning, for example:
"The other hotels are all full." means the same thing as "The other hotels are full." The word "all" is used merely to emphasize the fact that the other hotels are full.
And so forth.
"The other hotels are all full." means the same thing as "The other hotels are full." The word "all" is used merely to emphasize the fact that the other hotels are full.
