Any travel router (which provides NAT - network address translation - as opposed to just a bridge/access point) should do that, at least at most hotels. It wouldn't surprise me if some now try to detect this, but the basic idea of the device is that it makes however many devices connect behind it "look like" one device at the basic IP level.
It's pretty easy to tell one is there if you know what to look for or and looking at the application-protocol rather than IP level, but most hotels don't bother. Like I said, it wouldn't surprise me if some do, but I doubt it's many yet.
