I don't understand your second paragraph. Why would the guy down the hall at the hotel be on your home internet? Why would he be on the LAN side of your new Asus router?
as I understand the post, you don't actually need to login to use the telnet page. As long as you can hit the page, you can run commands via it. The home LAN is plugged into the travel routers WAN port in the test setup, so the LAN in this case is like the internet i.e. if it was connected to the internet then anyone on the internet could potentially hit the page and run commands. (If I'm understanding his setup correctly)
