HERE IS THE EXPLANATION.
When we use IN A HOTEL it is incorrect.
Because it does not indicate any particular hotel.
If we want to use IN we must use THE. i.e in the hotel.
And when we want to use A we must use AT. i.e At a hotel.

I thing we use 'put' generally for non living things. So Option A is incorrect. 'I couldn't stay' would be correct.

So, the answer should be option B.

Option A is correct because we use at for small places and in for large places. As far as c is concerned. Question is talking about the charges which is plural and nor (boarding and lodging) as a whole. So were is used.
