Did Christopher Columbus stay at a Lodge in Cordoba?

So far all the links I've found about this hotel and Columbus start with "legend has it" or "they say". While Columbus stayed in Cordoba for some time, while trying to woo the spanish monarchs to fund his expedition, he was staying at the "Convento de la Merced" (Mercy's convent) (link in spanish). Then he returned briefly to Portugal, and when he came back to Spain the kings have already conquered Granada, and there's where Columbus went.

He could have spent a night in Cordoba in a lodge, for sure, but the timing is problematic. According to the hotel sources, it became a lodge after the Granada campaign, while Columbus lived in Cordoba during said campaign. In any case, I have not found any evidence of this, and I suspect there is none to find.
