It took an hour to get into the room because the shooting had stopped. You don't just kick open the door to an active-shooter. That's how you get killed.

True, it's very risky for the cops outside the door. But you need to weigh that with the risk to the civilians who are still alive and still in the line of fire. Being cautious about entering the room might have cost another 50 lives.

And are you 100% sure there was no other way out? The two broken windows were pretty far from each other, which suggests two connected rooms, each with its own exit.

jagibelieve accurately explained the typical response to an active shooter scenario. If the shooting continued, then they likely would have entered the room. 

From what I saw, the rooms were connected but the doors were located next to each other. I don't know for sure but it looked that way on a layout of the hotel room.
