I am not looking for a big room, so that will be adequate as I will be out most of the time. Do these kinds of places have a curfew as well?
Getting lucky?
Don't bother with 'business hotels'. It not only is complicated but more importantly girls get turned off by that. Jackpot ratio goes 0. Consider 'love hotels' where check-in/out can be done discreetly.

Prepay?
I haven't done prepay at hotels yet, except love hotels.

DL miles?
I have seen some hotels give JL miles but not to any other airlines. If you want miles, using Amex-Delta for hotel payment would be one way.
For any kind of reward program, some hotel chains like the Sunroute for example give redeemable points if you open a membership. About 10% money back after all.

Curfew?
As a single guy I admit my bedtime is shamefully early. (11pm) So I haven't had a chance to find out about that yet. But I heard some places do have such a policy.

Good luck.
