Traditional reading

Staying in a clean, upscale hotel is read as being treated well and your circumstances improving. Receiving a room number or key was seen as gaining a new position.

Through the heart

A hotel is a place you stay temporarily, so this dream shows a feeling that your current situation is temporary, or that you haven't settled down. It also holds a wish to get away from daily life and be pampered.
