Most decent hotels will let you borrow the adapter plugs or buy from them.
Most hotel rooms in China are NOT wireless you must have an Ethernet cord.
Usually in lobby the have secured wireless access but you will need a password to get in. Almost all laptops sold in the USA can take 110 or 220 volts, the plug is what you need to worry about

I've stayed at 5 different hotels in the PRD area. 5, 4, 3 and 2 star hotels. All had electrical outlets that would take a normal US plug. Obviously old hotels, or certain areas may not have them, but I have not run into one of those yet.
