It is common in British English to say "put up at" in the place of "stay at"

'In a hotel' means 'inside the hotel' the sentence here 'i couldn't put up AT a hotel' refers that no need to put him inside hotel, it needs only near to hotel so we putting 'AT a hotel' here.

Excuse me all,
In is used for small area and at is used for big area like hotel.
If you mentioned a room then you can used in.

At is written for exact point whereas in is written for large area Ex: He lives in Bombay.

Option A is correct because hotel needs to be followed by "an" not by "a".
