Bill, I think you are definitely correct. I think the Kirkwood House's register was produced at the trial, and a "G.A. Atzerodt, Charles County" took a room on the morning of the 14th.

Atzerdot did register under his own name. See a photo of the register below from Dave's boothiebarn website. Of course much of what was found in his room was Booth's - that may be where the tour guide got mixed up.
