Hotels are/may be made of steel and act like Faraday cages, with very little signal getting into the room. If you can string a hunk of wire along the room window (like I suggested for your windshield), you may have luck. I have a little Sony pocket-size portable radio with AM/FM bands, plus a good amount of HF for SWLing. No SSB or CW, but I've been walking in Amsterdam, listening to Radio Australia like it was just a block away! And that radio has about an 18" telescoping antenna.

Experiment.
