Poor pup! This is an issue for many dogs in hotel rooms. You can try leaving her with a long-lasting treat such as a Kong toy stuffed with peanut butter to help keep her busy and encourage her to settle. You could also try a DAP pheromone collar along with a natural calming supplement like Zylkene or Composure to see if this helps.
