Well, what do you think of the internet provider for high-speed Internet at a Res Inn in Akron not allowing the guests to the Marriott website reservation page or Marriott Rewards sign-in page?
They get the Marriott home page right as a 1st home page, but without a Public (read: Internet-facing and potentially vulnerable) IP address, you can't see the reservation page, nor the login to see your account balance!

I've reported it to both the hotel and to the ISP, but it hasn't been fixed. It may have to do with pop-up window blocking, or may need a tunnel through the firewall.

(Don't get me wrong. I love having high-speed internet. I also appreciate NOT having a "HHotel" chain that uses wireless Internet in an insecure fashion where you are asked to remove stronger encryption [to zilch] and then change the SSID to a common term referring to the hotel chain. Yuk!]
