Was at the Sheraton in Yokohama Japan last week.
They charged me for only one connection.
We had three items and no router. Told them connection wasn't working, gave me another password and ip number. Couple of hours later, told them something was still wrong. Got third password/ip number card.
Admitedly, I did not explain that the first computer works fine and the problem was with the second and third laptops trying to connect to the same password but they never asked.

One detail that's being overlooked here (and, I'll admit, I tend to "overlook" this myself, but that's another matter):
The Terms of Service we all have to agree to when purchasing internet access at hotel usually states that the purchase is good for one device only. By using a travel router to "fool" the system into thinking there's only one computer connected, we are technically violating the TOS.
Just something to keep in mind...
