I wasn't there so I really can't comment... but I will anyway.
If a pilot needed a hotel, could not get in touch with anyone, why didn't said pilot just go get a hotel and expense it?
I can't imagine a scenario where I would sleep in the crew lounge where the company owed me a hotel. Short of no rooms available. Different story there.
