You do want it to be a Router Mode of "DHCP and NAT". Unfortunately, some hotels will not allow you connect this way. You will have to try it out and see.
Worst case, call the hotel desk and tell them that you have several wireless devices and you only want to pay for one connection. If they value you as a guest, they will only charge you for one connection.
