Selected answer:paid for at the hotel

Explanation:
You are presumably making a booking over the Internet and are paying for the hotel in advance via the website. But if you want air conditioning, you can have it but you can't pay in advance via the website, you have to pay for it at the hotel when you get there.

pay on the spot

Explanation:
I'm pretty sure it means to pay when you're already there/ it is an option that is to be paid only when you get at the hotel.

Missed Jack's answer again, I should be typing faster! But as far as I can see, our opinions concur.

If you require an air conditioned room, you will just pay at low cost in that local.
