Well, considering that even their premium wifi will usually only get about 29 Mbps down at the high end, it won't be super effective.

Use a router setup to combine network connections for throughput, setup in a box with solar in motel central, and tada, you're risking someone else's connection.

I already use a glinet beryl ax for all my hotel stays- they're typically 8 weeks at a time so it's important for me to be able to isolate myself from their standard network.

For anyone else curious:

Looks like it has built in wireguard vpn client support, so you can connect to an external vpn server and route all traffic to it automatically from all your devices.

can confirm that it works well, however ease of use typically keeps me off of the vpn for my quest 3. it does occasionally glitch out a bit since newer hotel networks are usually dualband so you'll have to manually set the beryl to only accept 5ghz otherwise it'll frequently deauth. I've noticed that sometimes it'll also deauth if there's another beryl on the same network. It's kind of like playing whack a mole with deauthing.
