'das Zimmer' and 'das Hotelzimmer' both refer to a single room. 'Zimmer' is general and can be at home, in a school, in an office, or in a hotel. 'Hotelzimmer' is more specific: it is a room in a hotel that you rent for one or more nights. The words can be confused because in a hotel people often simply say 'mein Zimmer' (my room). If the hotel context is clear, 'Zimmer' is enough. If you want to make the place clear, 'Hotelzimmer' is more natural.
