Looking for something I can use to listen through walls...hotels obviously, to avoid placing my head against wall and getting a kink in my neck.

This is what a stethoscope can be used for, Cilli1. Should work better than a glass, usually. But than you can´t always have a stethoscope at hand ;-)

How does the stethoscope compare to those contact mic things? Out of curiosity.

If you have a look at relevant sites, here for example:

you will find that contact wall mics and stethoscope are often used as synomyms.
