Clocks leave no evidence. I have never heard of a hotel that allows smoking.
A digital clock may emit a low level RF noise that could be detected outside the room. For stealth, I might have to wrap the clock in tinfoil. But then it would be difficult to see the time.
Most of the hotels I've stayed at over the past few years still have clocks in them, but I wonder when those will go away. I wonder how long cable will remain at many hotels.

I wouldn't miss cable. I wouldn't even miss TV if they got rid of it. I never watch it.

I keep very basic cable, local channels mostly. When my parents come to visit, I'll call the cable office to turn on the other standard channels and after about a month I'll got back to just the limited package.
Youtube is what I mostly watch but I do watch Anime sometimes through my Roku.

And did those rooms with clocks look outdated to you?

The rooms were fairly modern overall with flat-screen TV'S and other modern gadgets.

I use a radio. A Sangean ATS 606 is my dedicated travel radio. At home it stays with the luggage. The only time it gets used is when we're at a hotel. It survived a fall from my second story balcony in Mexico.
I also carry Sangean CL-100 clock radio for travel.
