Even an American spelling and grammar site got it right. Although I'd be somewhat wary of taking grammar advice from a site that has an "Ez bookshop" whatever one of those it.

Also, that page is wrong, since it says that it should be "a hotel" rather than "an hotel".

You can't get it wrong or right. Some people would use a. Depends on your accent really. Posh people would tend not to use an. On the other hand if you are Parker from the Thunderbirds.
