Actually in 2008 the FCC changed the definition of Broadband to 768 down, 200 up, and is currently seeking comments to change it again. I'm sure the hotel has broadband, as they measure it at the router, they just don't get it out to the rooms.
Most hotels though advertise hi-speed, which the FCC does not define.
