CNN reports that, in addition to FBI agents, members of the Army's Delta Force also stormed a guest room at the Revere Hotel, where they held an innocent airline pilot hostage for close to an hour for "interrogations" until they realized he wasn't a "role actor" in their training exercise and that they had the wrong room.

3rd amendment violation?

Ultra rare but this might be one...
IANAL

but I'm not sure a hotel meets the definition of a residence under The Third. It's been so rarely litigated that it's hard to say, but I don't see how you can argue that a hotel guest has "general control of access" in the same way as a tenant in an apartment would (Engblom v. Carey). Tenants have rights regarding access in a way that hotels guests do not.
Regardless, it's a pretty clear Fourth Amendment violation to seize a person without a warrant and without exigent circumstance nor observed evidence of other crimes.
Just what part of this do you

Just what part of this do you think would constitute a third amendment violation? I ask because I don't think you have read it. The soldiers were taking place in an exercise in the hotel, they were not being housed (aka quartering) there against the hotels will by the government.
No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law.

Someone should really lose their job over this. Probably several somebodies.
And this poor pilot should never have to work another day in his life.

..what were those in neighboring rooms thinking as this was happening??
..and did the feds think about that, or their potential reactions, at all?!?
Because the hotel was functioning normally, so i would assume it wasn't just chock full of federal role players with the exception of this one poor pilot.
I thought the Army wasn't allowed to storm hotels domestically

The military isn't supposed to enforce domestic law, or so I thought. What are they training for? A coup?

Hotels exist in other countries
Which isn't to say that we should be sending troops to storm hotels in other countries.
I wonder what Paul Revere would …

When booking a dream vacation

When booking a dream vacation, some are satisfied with a simple lap pool, others will only accept a hotel whose amenities include being waterboarded by JSOC psychos in the comfort of your own bathroom.
