Drop the $70-100 on a travel AP and call it a day. Linksys and Apple(among others) each make one. You plug the hotel ethernet into the RJ45 jack on the travel AP, and usually plug the AP into the wall electric socket and have at it.
You will of course need to do a little more work if you want to get WEP/WPA, MAC restriction, etc. working on it.
I've had an Airport Express as part of my regular travel kit for a couple years now and it's one of the first things that goes into the wall when I get into my room.
