No, you cannot write them off under the safe harbor method ($2,500 or less) because they are no longer business property. Your situation is complicated due to the short term rental period. If there is anything that you will no longer use and would discard, you could deduct that as rental expense. Anything else is personal expense. An asset that is placed in and out of service in the same year (exception is real property which is the building itself for the rental use percentage) cannot be depreciated.
Anything that you will continue to use after the rental period must be converted to personal use. If things like the guest bedding and towels are discarded and no longer used at all, they can be an expense for the rental, otherwise there is no deduction for these items.
