From examining all the facts of your query I want to say that-
These cases are very common in various Courts of India and Supreme Court of India. I can understand your concern in this regard.
To my mind, people are shielded from the law by their legal and constitutional rights. In India, displays of affection can result in violence, and couples frequently have to deal with harassment for the sake of "protecting dignity." Unmarried couples are shielded from harassment and violence by their legal privileges. Unmarried couples should actively monitor their rights to safeguard themselves from abuse or harassment.
Unmarried couples are not prohibited by law from lodging together or checking into a hotel. Even reputable hotel booking websites have a special category of hotels that are couple friendly.
There are no laws or regulations forbearing unmarried persons of opposite sex from occupying hotel rooms as guests. While live-in relationship of two adults is not deemed to be an offence terming the occupation of hotel room by an unmarried couple will not attract a criminal offence.
The Supreme Court stated in its decision in the case of S.P.S. Balasubramanyam v. Suruttayan held that if a man and woman are living under the same roof and cohabiting for some years, there will be a presumption under Section 114 of the Evidence Act that they live as husband and wife and the children born to them will not be illegitimate.
The Constitution of India grants us the right to privacy through article 21 and sexual autonomy is an integral part of this article. The Supreme Court has also reiterated this in its judgements – the 2017 Puttaswamy judgment and the 2018 Navtej Johar judgment.
You can send a legal notice through Advocate to the hotel initially for claiming compensation. My team is dealing with various such matters. A legal notice is a formal written communication between the parties where the sender notifies the recipient about his intention of undertaking legal proceedings against the latter. It helps in making the recipient party aware of the grievances of the sender. It is considered to be a warning to the receiver to fulfill a certain condition if he does not want to take the matter to the court. It is a very time and cost-effective tool for settling the matters without any litigation procedure but rather through negotiation, mediation or arbitration. It is only this method that legalizes producing a matter to court. The intimation given is known as 'legal notice.' A legal notice is, hence, formal notification to a person or an entity, notifying the other party of your purpose to commence legal proceedings against them. Legal notice can serve as a target of negotiations among the parties and save time, effort, and money spent in court cases. This makes the party aware of your complaint. Many times, a legal notice served will bring the other party on heels, and the difficulty can get resolved out of court, too, with fruitful arguments on both sides. If the opposite party is still not heeding to the grievance, one can always start the court procedures after a particular interval, as pronounced by the law.
