Answer 1

it is trying to load child objects and it may be creating some circular loop property that will never end.

also you use [ScriptIgnore] , will not serialize the public property or public field look at this :

   public class BookingHotel : IntBaseEntity            
    {    
        public string BookingName { get; set; }    
        public string BookingReference { get; set; }    
        public DateTime? CheckInDate { get; set; }    
        public DateTime? CheckOutDate { get; set; }    
        public int HotelId { get; set; }    
        [ScriptIgnore]    
        public Hotel Hotel { get; set; }        
     }
