I agree. The correct answer is "I could not put up at in a hotel".

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

@gopal: its for charges we are using "were" not for boarding and lodging.

It is not "a hotel".

It is "an Hotel". H is precided by article "an".

In is also used to indicate location or place. So option D is correct.

Why not ans B? why not "because of the boarding and lodging charges"?

How can "were" be used in option c, is it right to use "are" there ?

It is always board and lodging.

So, the answer should be option B.
