The answer
His wife was deaf. The horn made many motel lights come on; he looked among rooms still dark, knowing the sound would not wake her. One was theirs, and his key confirmed it. Darkness did not infallibly identify the room; it narrowed his attempts through a difference in reactions to noise.
