I disagree. People have access to your hotel room, not all of those people are trustworthy and a gun in a lockable case can be easily carried away. Out of sight in a vehicle in a parking space that is under lights close to the hotel is safer in my book. I carry my long guns in a lockable hard case but it can be easily carried away, to steal it from a vehicle will be harder. I never leave anything that looks like it has value visible in a vehicle no matter where I am.
