Hi Kwfine,
The article that is used before the word hotel is "a". So you can say "I had been staying at a hotel....".

Thanks for the help, Torsten! I learnt from an article that some people write an hotel instead a hotel, because they think the letter h in "hotel" is consonant. _________________ 各位前輩安安, 我是kitty喔! |

I think most native speakers of English pronounce the H in hotel, and therefore they also use 'a'.
I think only the (few) people who drop the H sound and pronounce the word hotel as o-tel would say "an hotel".
PS The letter H is a consonant The letter O (for example) is a vowel.
