If I was Holden and I had just been kicked out of school, I would probably end up going back home, or to one of my relatives houses. At this point in time, I wouldn't have enough money to stay at a hotel, and I would have enough money to buy my own food and drinks. If I was a little older though and had a job, I might stay in a hotel for a few days.
The character Jane in the book is obviously very important to Holden. I think the reason for this is that she is the only girl that he has actually had a real relationship with. As a child I am guessing that she was the only person that Holden has consistently spent time with that wasn't in his family. Holden hates to imagine that the one person that Holden was friends with as a child is now with Stadlater.
I think that what Holden said about how people are always ruining things for you is very true. I can remember numerous times when people have thrown away very important papers on accident.
