So, I used to work for a company that provided connectivity for hotels, restaurants, stadiums and other hotspots (like temporary venues). In every case, the network is designed for the common case. Hotels would be low churn, low density, a coffeeshop would be high churn, medium density while a stadium would be extremely high density, massive peak association rate but very high churn. Tech conferences have the same use patterns and density of a stadium. Unless there is prior arrangements and understanding of this, all hotels are going to go "yes, we have interne, yes it's good and we'll charge $x for it" and not notify the provider and not make any changes. Everything they did is standard practice for setting up a high density network.
If you are the organizer of a tech conference, please, communicate that you need special network considerations and get in contact with the hotel's provider, or arrange to have your own provider brought in as soon as possible. 3 months lead time is cutting it close.
