Specs:
We travel (East coast to West coast and back) with our six year old dog semi regularly. We have a medium sized metal crate that folds flat for storage in the car that we pull out at hotels (like this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00QAVO29I/ref=mp_s_a_1_3/143-4418050-6028144?ie=UTF8&qid=1541910872&sr=8-3&keywords=dog+crates&dpPl=1&dpID=51b0bwi1l0L&ref=plSrch). We also got the dog used to it at home first (originally with high value treats).
The dog wears a harness/seatbelt combo in the car and we have an oversized gerbil-style water bottle tied to the back of a seat that the dog likes. We stop every 2 hours for a leg stretch/potty walk. That may depend on how long your road trip portion is. We keep some toys and a blanket for the dog in the backseat.
All the hotels we have stayed at have said as long as our dog was crated while we were out, it would be fine. That being said, just like the above poster said, always check with the hotel first (it’s a quick phone call) to see if that is acceptable, if there is a weight limit, or additional pet fee per day. Petswelcome.com let’s you search pet friendly hotels. In the hotel room, we always have a blanket that smells like us and the dog available near the food bowl when we are there and we put it in the crate with the dog when we are gone along with some toys. We tend to play fetch with the dog before we leave as a sleepy pup is quiet and less stressed. We always give a treat before we leave. We also leave the tv on low volume so the dog isn’t startled while we are gone. Generally our dog is only alone in the hotel room for a couple hours at a time though as we stay at hotels between stopping with family, which might be different than your case. Hope that is helpful!
Edit: forgot to mention, our dog is also 35 lbs so about the same size as yours.
Yeah, sounds like standard separation anxiety. She wants to be near you guys. I know it's not your dog but if you wanted to grab a crate for her to bring into your room, they're pretty reasonable on amazon.

If you take her to a local vet, they can scan for a microchip but good chance she's just a stray/abandoned. Kudos for helping her out.
I'm in the almost exact same scenario as you including the age and gender- and have come across the idea of utilizing a large dog kennel with a "moat" as an alternative to a safe room - I live in a 1 bedroom basement apartment and can't really use my bathroom as well
I did post on /r/pets as well hoping to get some input as there doesn't seem to be much information apart from various pet sites such as (adoptapet.com)
Personally I am inclined to believe this method would work very much the same as having another room; the only thing would be the kitten being lonely at night when I sleep or when I'm away at work- as both instances I leave my current cat shut in my bedroom
I'm looking at purchasing a 36x23x25 kennel from amazon and propping it up on a unused table I have in the living room and covering it partially with fabric (https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00QAVO29I/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=A3DWYIK6Y9EEQB&psc=1)
I'd love to hear an update if you decide to go on with getting a 2nd cat/kitten before I do :)
Not sure what type of crate you have, but we had to get the [bolt lock](amazonbasics single-door folding metal dog crate - medium (36x23x25 inches) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00QAVO29I/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_8zrRAbS2GREVX) since ours figured out how to get out of the [lift door](midwest homes for pets ovation double door dog crate, 36-inch https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00C1OREUW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_wCrRAbRRD3VNY) crate (even with a carabineer like yours).
Since we got the bolt lock no issues of escaping and ours are in the crate while at work. Even when I work from home they will crate themselves for naps and enjoy being in there. If you're worried about boredom you can drop in a rawhide/bone/toy to keep them busy. Our neighbors will leave the tv on for their pup since the noise and activity helps keep them calm. The bitter spray worked really well for our one sibe and luckily our other didn't need it.
Ultimately you'll have to figure out what works best for you and your sibe's personality
