If the hotel doesn't have free wifi - and I understand the concern - the more expensive the hotel, the likelier you are to pay for wifi, I would call your cell phone provider about activating the "hot spot" capability on one of the android phones. Just as an example, the charge with VZW is about $30/mo if you are on an older data plan, but I believe it is prorated, so you could cancel when you get home, and not pay that much. Newer plans (where you pay for a given quantity of data/mo) normally have it included.
The wifi tether works great, and you just leave the device plugged in to keep the battery from running down.
