I'm buying an Apple Airport just for this purpose as it's relatively small, does NAT routing (Network Address Translation), and will allow a shared connection. I've yet to see if it'll work or not but I can't imagine why it wouldn't. The hotel network simply hands you an IP and I believe that the first HTTP request is intercepted by them. Thereafter it's just like normal internet access. So the router would lease the IP, you'd go in as normal and tell them you want to pay sky high rates for broadband and off you go. I HOPE it works that way.
