Woman attaining the reward of males in the haram when reading in the hotel room

Q: 

1. I want to know that I heard from an aalim that a female performing salah in the innermost room is superior and more rewardable then performing in the courtyard or varendah. I also heard that a female performing salah in the hotel room is more virtuous and rewardable than in Haramain Sharifain. Is this correct? 

2. If it is more rewardable then will the females get the sawab/reward of one lakh namaz when she is reading in a hotel in Haram and fifty thousand in Madinah. As a male would get one lakh when reading his namaz in Haram near Kaabah and 50000 in Madinah in Masjid-e-Nabawi. 

3. Moreover, will a person, male or female, get the reward of one lakh when reading his or her namaz anywhere in Makkah and Madinah or it has to be specifically in Haram near Kaabah and in Masjid-e-Nabawi. But for female they will read namaz in hotel rooms as it is more rewarding so any hotel situated anywhere in Makkah or Madinah will she get the same reward or it has to be near the Haramain and not far away. (Far away means how far away) from Haramain?

A: Yes, she will receive the same reward as a male receives by performing her salaah in her hotel room during her stay in Makkah Mukarramah and Madinah Munawwarah. 

The reward of one hundred thousand is confined to the boundary of the Haram.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
