In my experience hotels throttle wifi connection per device (IP/Mac address or whatever) and so you'd be better off using something that can use the wired connection in your room (which is usually unthrottled or has higher bandwidth) and be an AP for your personal devices.

If you don't have a wired connection then this wouldn't be any better, except for any connectivity features it might offer (probably some vpn capability).

I have a gl-inet device and it does pretty much all I need whenever I travel.
