At means nearby, I am at a hotel.

In means inside, I am in a hotel.

It should be at in first sentence because.

At is more specific than in.

Usage of 'Put up' itself is wrong.

Various meanings of 'Put up' doesn't fit in the sentence.

Mayank said:   8 years ago
Put up is incorrect word here.

The correct sentence will be : I could not stayed in a hotel.
