How did Beast end up at the open arms?
It wasn't explained in the game, so I'm assuming it isn't in the comics either.

if it was explained how did it happen exactly and if it wasn't this is a pretty big plot hole just having beast show up for no reason at a sex hotel.

It'll never be explained in the comics and has never been explained in the comics as this is a new story Telltale is telling with those characters. It is explained albeit indrectly Beast is clearly following her as shown in episode one.

That's stupid if you think so. She was already there for a few hours when he shows up. So he can't be following her!

Depends what he was doing in the interim. He could easily have been waitng nearby and waiting for the right moment or the wrong moment as it were. Stupid to think so eh? You mean like suggesting that Telltale planned to have Snow remain dead permanently?

Pretty much, yes. So you see your wife going into a hotel without telling you and you wait outside until..... what? until she comes out again?

I mentioned waiting for the right moment or in the case of Bigby turning up the wrong moment. Unlike Bigby, Beast doesn't have willing control over his transformation so there would also be the risk of breaking the masquerade in front of mundanes.

Was he going to teh room to clean up the evidence?

And what is that right moment supposed to be might I ask? When he sees the guy his wife may be cheating him with goes into the hotel, even though he has absolutely no idea who that could be? And before you tell me now he suspected Bigby, remember that Beast met Bigby coming home last time Beauty had just gone missing, not to mention the fact of course that there's no reason to suspect Bigby any more than any other guy, be it fable or mundy, or maybe even woman.

Bigby going in would certainly be the right moment and to explain I'll be using spoiler tags See here's the thing with Beauty she's actually dead and has been for a long time even by the point the game starts. Killed by a Lamia who ended up taking on her form but did so for too long so it stuck and believes she is Beauty. Every so often though she snaps and goes on a murderous rampage which when this has happened previously he's been able to cover up. And Bigby's a detective.

Doesn't really matter, does it? I can think of dozen different explanations.
He might've, for instance, been searching around the neighborhood after losing the track. Might've been going around showing her photo to strangers, and asking everyone if they've seen her. ...he wouldn't be the first jealous husband ever who's resorted to that.

By canon, it's not the first time he's had to track Beauty down. He must be pretty good at detective stuff by now.

...or he might've simply seen Bigby, and decided to see what he's up to.

The killer could have tipped him off to try to stop Bigby from finding the murder scene or to give an opening to climb up a fire escape and try to grab evidence. Nothing like a jealous husband finding his wife about to go into a room in a seedy motel with someone who is an aplha-male to buy you a quick distraction.

Beast could have bloodhound nose. Got lucky and tracked her. Just like Bigby has a good nose. Or they left it open to interpretation, or got lazy. Got to wait till next chapter and so on to really know for sure right?

Maybe Beast thought Beauty was really cheating on him so he thought to himself, I hope she's not cheating on me, ah, I better check out open arms just to clear my mind. He finds no one at the counter/front desk and decides to go up to the rooms thinking he'll recognise the voices through the doors but get's hit with seeing BigBy and Beauty trying to open 207. Not much of a mystery OP.

Plot convenience.

There would be this as well. It's a videogame so Beast is going to turn up at the point when it's least beneficial for Bigby.
