A vs an is one of the few instances in English where there is no rule, you do whatever sounds right in your dialect.

An hotel is right for some, a hotel is right for others. It is a matter of the individual’s subjective taste.

I disagree with the person in the post, but de gustibus non disputandum est applies here.

Some dialects of english, the H sound in hotel is silent, making it sound more like O’tel. An O’tel sounds correct in their dialect.
