Stealing something that someone has stolen from you is theft in many jurisdictions in the US. Make sure you involve the police, as I suspect the same is true in Canada.

A number of things you could do to facilitate recovering the property, such as entering someone else's hotel room without permission are illegal, though a defense of necessity might be available. I've never heard of it being a crime to take back the property itself.
