There is no such thing as an infinite ____ within the universe. The hotel is merely an analogy.

The end is not now. This is part way through, but a part that has no given value. An actual infinite can occur.
But you cannot experience that or given any evidence toward it. You have no experience of a "future", only the present can be known. If we are on an eternal, infinite timeline, you and I are at a single point--we are no dispersed across a line. And what's worse, we can only view the line as a left-pointing ray. The right is unknown from experience or evidence.
