I once operated from a 7th floor hotel room with a W6MMA MP-1 (which
Elecraft used to sell--the paint color on the coil matched my K2, which
increased the mojo). I placed it inside next to the window and made
several contacts of 1000 - >3000 miles on 20m running 5W (propagation
was much better than it has been recently).

Consider that some (many) hotel rooms have windows that will not open.
So when faced with that, do you break the window (not recommended) or
operate from outside the building or operate with a loop placed inside
the window glass.
In other words - it all depends. Be prepared for all possible
situations. A mag loop and an end fed antenna with some sort of
support pole seem to me to be the best combination.
