Boil eggs in pot in the hotel

Question:

Are you allowed to boil eggs in the pot has been used by a goy before and was clean by the hotel staff.

Answer:

It depends on what the goy cooked in the pot. There are two potential problems with using the hotels pot. If the goy used it for treif food the pot is trief and you should not cook in it. Secondly even if the food that was cooked in it was kosher, the pot might still be trief because when the goy cooked with it,  the food he cooked was bishul akum, (if bishul akum would apply to the food he cooked)and it affected the pot. However if the pot is kasherable, i.e. it can be cleaned, you might want to consider kashering it first and then it may be used.
