And my footnote to that:

Let's hope Marriott and the rest of the major hotels are done changing all the guest room locks:

I would add that using the hotel wifi at a bitcoin conference may also be risky.
And as for the door lock exploit, this is never going to get fixed at most hotels.  I assume that this is the exploit from last year? It would require the hotel to not only replace all the locks but also the panel at the front desk. This is way more than most hotels can afford.
