This isn't entirely true. It is true that only nights in which one physically shows up and pays for the night will count towards the challenge (except in the rare event one finds a property willing to treat a ghost check-in as a physical one), but one does not physically have to stay the night at the hotel, nor ever even set foot in the room (mattress run vs butt in bed).
