So, why is this okay then?

The internet connection at the hotel I'm staying is terrible.

Just because of the added context?

It’s OK now. Emotion: smile

So, a little bit of context can change how a preposition is used. I just thought that was what I had been implying already. Not a lot of people own hotels...

Could you help me proofread and check the other questions I've asked since yesterday morning. I've bumped it once, but still no response from anyone. Thank you!

No, and your original sentence is by no means ambiguous. But it is my understanding that you want to speak and write good, careful English, so I improved your sentence.

Thank you so much! I hope you keep up the great work Mr. Aspara Gus.

I see AG's point, but most of us are happy to use and understand 'my hotel room' to mean 'the hotel room in which I am/was staying'; just as teachers use 'my school' to mean 'the school at which I work' and students use it to mean 'the school at which i study'.
