I would like to remind you that <mebpa'mey> was defined as "hotel" in KGT.  Saying <mebpa'meylIj tIngu'> makes it sound like I think you have more than one room.  Saying <mebpa'lIj yIngu'> makes it sound like I want to know your room number.  However, the entries in KGT make it look like <mebpa'meylIj yIngu'> means "Identify your hotel".  Though personally I would prefer <mebpa'lIj qach yIngu'>.
