No, the real hotel access points, including at Marriott, are part of their attack strategy. They get hacked, sometimes via physical means, and commandeered to launch high-grade targeted malware.
The South Korean government has done that quite regularly, for one (known as DarkHotel), and I do believe GCHQ does it over here from time to time. Several others too, I expect. Intelligence agencies just like hotels, I guess, between the visitors of diplomatic, political and economic interest, the public access, potentially lowered guard, and things left unattended in hotel rooms locked by surprisingly forgeable master keys?
