For a lot of "public" wifi networks, it's not even a

that
the access points are set to client isolation mode (so the AP only
allows clients to talk to the gateway). It's basically an extra
security layer on their part to keep customer A from causing problems
for customer B.
So then you do need your own access point/router. On newer Android
devices, you can re-share the wifi with hotspot mode, so don't need
any
additional equipment.

Not something I could get around sitting in a hotel room. The solution
I mentioned about using port 80 for ssh was something I used when I was
at a conference in DC and the host only allowed http/https traffic to
machines outside the building. I used it to ssh to a machine that was
outside, so it wasn't like this case of trying to get two machines
behind the firewall together...
