Unknown. The reset was done by a family member so I can't be sure. They are pretty tech savvy and work in IT but who knows. If it was a phishing page it was presumably (hopefully?) a reasonably convincing one.
The password reset happened two days into a seven day vacation. The account takeover happened while we were flying home. That the attacker waited until we were likely to be completely offline for several hours makes me suspicious that either hotel staff or staff at the hotel's Internet provider were involved. We have contacted the hotel but they seem uninterested.
