Whose rights are you concerned with, the man or the woman's?  The police have a right to knock on any door and ask someone to step out, if that is how they did it.  The person inside is not required to step outside unless the police have a warrant. He may have agreed to step outside.  I also imagine that they were in contact with the hotel management since you mention that the hotel has a policy against unregistered guests.  In speaking to the female were they invited into the room, or did they force their way in? Depending on the circumstances of how they questioned either one of them there may be Miranda violations. The answer to your question will depend on the facts of the case and there are not enough facts here to answer your question fully.  You should contact an attorney who can review the police report and statement and give you a more thorough answer.

You are the victim of a common problem, I see it often. The solution to the problem may lie in a suppression hearing dealing with the search using the K-9 unit. The filing of two charges is legal in most instances as long as the paraphonia is not the hash. If it is, a plea to the paraphanalia may bar the prosecution for the drug. You need help as soon as possible as the possession is a serious felony. In Dallas there is a diversion program that requires early application if you are elligable.
