While we consider the second sentence it say's he know about the charges before itself. So "in hotel" is incorrect, if he is not known about the charges then we can use "in hotel" but we need to change the second and third sentence as,
[B] if the boarding and lodging charges.
[C] are exorbitant.
[B] if the boarding and lodging charges.
[C] are exorbitant.

I could not put up in the hotel(is correct). Because we don't know the name of hotel. If we know then we write "in the hotel".
