Mary and Joseph did not stay in an inn, because there was no room for them. They stayed in a stable until Mary gave birth to Jesus. The inn with no rooms available is not named, only being referred to as "guest room"(NIV) or "room at the inn"(KJV) (Luke 2:7)

∙ 11y agoAt the time Mary conceived Jesus a decree or order went out into the Roman world from Caesar Augustus the Emperor that all his kingdom should be registered. The people in Israel had to return to the place their fathers were from. Joseph and Mary was from the tribe of Judah and King David was from the tribe of Judah and David was in Mary's and Joseph's family line and was born in Bethlehem. So Joseph and Mary had to travel to Bethlehem to register. There were many people traveling to different cities to register wherever their family line had been from. Many other people from the tribe of Judah and a descendant of King David had to go to Bethlehem also and so the city of David (Bethlehem) was crowded.
To start with there were probably very few inns in Bethlehem and most people when they traveled camped at night or stayed with people who they knew or with strangers who would allow them the stay the night. Mary about to deliver the Baby Jesus needed a place to have the baby and the only place they could find was a stable (or a cave as some have suggested) as it would be more private than just camping in the open.
