Did the hotel say that it required that their Linksys cards be used for
wireless access? If so it is most likely that the wireless router they
are using filters on the cards MAC addresses to prevent unauthorized
access. They know this since its their own cards. I do this on my
wireless router to prevent anyone accessing outside of my two wireless
cards.

"The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic State itself. That in it's essence, is Fascism - ownership of government by an individual, by a group or by any controlling private power."
