Canadian chess is high stakes.
They have a pile of ash at best.
Ch-eh?-ss.
THAT'S how you read that line?!? Wow. From the time I actually noticed it I thought it was a really weird line. But I never for a moment considered Bones was talking about EARTH. Fascinating!
Because I've tried to do it enough times to know hotels get very pissy about about it. Mind you this was in the 80's when plastic was common but not ubiquitous. (And I didn't have any.) I can't imagine it's gotten easier.
This, however, is not a sticking point for me. "They did a thing, and it worked." (Actually, now that I think on it, they just held a lot more money than I was expecting to pay as a deposit. And we know they had mad chess money.)
The weakest part of the episode for me is when La'an gets up and almost goes to Jim. And Jim is awake hoping she will. That seems somewhat out of character for both of them. (The people who noted that "Of COURSE Jim sleeps on the couch!"? I love you people.)
Damn it, why do I get misty eyed every time I write about this damn thing?!?
Stop it. (*snicker*)
No. The Romulan immolated herself as she was dying so no body (just ashes).
I totally forgot all that. They knew idiots like me would ask I guess. lol
Hey, I give the producers props to really showing she bled out green when she was shot.
Yeah. To me, TOS is very much influenced by the Post WWII zeitgeist, The Federation is America. The Klingons are the Russians. The Romulans are the Chinese. And the Vulcans are the Japanese, an enemy turned firm ally. While Japan wasn't conquered per se, it was defeated and occupied. This might partially be influenced by living in Japan during the 60s and 70s as an Air Force brat.
Are we sure they didn't "steal" the room?
All they'd really need to do is give a hundred dollars to a corrupt maid, and cross their fingers, that no one notices that they are where they are not where they are supposed to be.

Dust to dust.
Khan had Romulan blood on him. La'an wiped it off, but I don't think she took the tissue with her.
Or maybe they followed a housekeeper around to figure out which rooms were likely to be vacant, and broke into one. Even without any advanced tech to override a keycard mechanism, surely either La'an or Kirk knows how to pick a lock.
He's not going to find superpowers from metabolising Romulan blood, but he may have gotten Romulan Hepatitis, which may explain his special type of crazy moving forward.
We can't be sure why she was hysterical, or she was perfectly fine and I'm just sexist.
They both skipped some engineering classes at the Academy, so maybe not.

The lock in a modern motel is usually an electromagnet controlled by a magnetic strip.
Nancy Drew could trip that with a hair pin.
It's how I got my penthouse apartment overlooking the harbor.
They don't use hairpins in the 23rd Century.
