If somebody asks me where I'm staying, and I don't want them to know, I'll just say I don't know, I haven't booked a place yet.
Why not just tell the agent directly that it is none of his/her business?
Recently I've noticed hotel front desk clerks that ask aloud to verify my email address. I don't appreciate other random people standing around in the area being able to hear this. It's especially bad for those whose email address contains their name. Plus, how many hotel chain elites do not have the correct email address in their profiles? Shouldn't the hotel assume that my email address is unchanged from the last time I stayed at the property, which was only last week?
