I agree. Infinity is a concept. Infinity is not a thing.

The idea that anything has infinite rooms is a premis. This idea is used to form a mental construct. Just because someone decides to say that there is a hotel with infinte rooms does not mean such a thing exists. The whole thing proves nothing. The point is does infinity exist. Does time exist? Are infinity or time physical things? Answer that and you will have the whole thing solved.
