Īs Ryan pointed out in our review, using a hotspot would not only be a bit of a headache just to use a Chromecast, but it would also chew through a data cap in nearly no time. Which basically leads to the best way to do it, and that's to setup a hotspot with your laptop or phone. There may be some work around for this one (by doing certain things on your laptop), but given that you probably won't be able to get past the first item, it's not work going into here.
Second, Chromecast doesn't support captive networks right now (open networks with a login page).
The major one is that most hotels, even if you get on the wifi, disable peer to peer communication, so you won't be able to control it. Here's the skinny for those who are curious: Affaki took to an impromptu Q&A on Google+ to help explain a few lingering things about the unit, one of which was the device's inability to function on captive Wi-Fi networks – that is, one that's behind a login page, like most public hotspots.
