If internet access is essential for you, do yourself a favor and get a travel router like this:

I have tried several travel routers and I like the TP-Link for the best balance of size, price and features.

Not only can you use as many devices as you like, you can avoid some hotel's weak wifi signals with your own strong one.
Sorry, but I'm missing an obvious, elmentary basic point here. If Hyatt (or any other hotel) is restricting its complimentary WiFi to a single device (i.e. tablet or phone or laptop, not all 3), how exactly does one use the pocket router to overcome this? Is it somehow "attached" to one of the various devices --- the only one that we actually use to "purchase" the hotel's complimentary wifi? Or, alternatively, is there an implicit assumption that the hotel is providing a LAN connection that the pocket router must be plugged into? [Apologies in advance for asking elementary questions, but I suspect that I'm not the only one considering an immediate reactive purchase order this evening...
