We had several opportunities to stay in hotels in 2024; mainly because
of some unexpected medical issues, but that's another topic.
We often stayed at Marriott hotels, and found our Roku the best option
if we wanted to watch anything.
Although the Roku could see the Marriott WiFi, there was no mechanism to
get past their paywall/walled garden within the Roku interface.
So we connected the Roku to the ethernet port behind the TV. Curiously,
we could not connect to the Roku with our smartphones because the
smartphones were attached via WiFi, which was on a different subnet than
the ethernet port.
However, we could use the Roku-proprietary remote control, and that
worked just as if we were at home.

Been in Mexico for a week or so. I travel with a surface, HDMI cable
and adapter so I can watch all my streaming. I keep wondering about
just taking a ROKU stick with me... I do hate to log into anything
with the ROKU interface and I am always going to have the computer
because I cannot stand using a cell phone keyboard.
