Vocabulary
meet at the hotel or in the hotel
Dear teachers,
I'm a little confused about the use of the proper preposition in the following context:
Five backpackers want to meet up inside a hotel tomorrow. There's only one hotel in the village, so it's not important to mentions its name.
What can they say?
a) Let's meet (up) in the hotel.
b) Let's meet (up) at the hotel.
Is both possible?
Thanks in advance!

Yes (apart from the "the the" typo), but "in" more specifically means "inside". "at" could mean outside.
