I feel that the hotel means it comes inside but he didn't book the hotel for high expenditure.

The sentence "I could not put up in a hotel" has an error in the usage of the phrasal verb "put up. ".
Explanation:
The phrase "put up" means to tolerate or endure something, or it can mean to provide lodging for someone.
However, when referring to staying temporarily at a place, the correct phrase is "put up at".
The sentence should be corrected as: "I could not put up at a hotel".
This conveys that you were unable to stay at a hotel.
