Click "Advanced" button at bottom-right.
Select the "Wi-Fi" tab.
Select the hotel's network and click the "-" below the list.
Click "OK' at the bottom-right.
Click "Apply" at the bottom-right.
Try connecting to the hotel's network again.
If that doesn't work, try unchecking "Remember networks..." in the Advanced section, OK, Apply< then restart the computer.

No amount of work on your end will delete or forget the network credentials in order to return to a fresh login window. I am now in the habit of writing down the tech support phone number when the original screen pops up. That way you can contact the wireless third-party provider your hotel is using. If you didn't write it down, call the hotel front desk and ask them specifically for the tech support number of the company they use ( ). That service provider has to essentially kick you off their network. They'll need to know your IP address in order to find you. Once they do that, you will have access to the original login screen and can choose to enter a new/different access code or to choose to upgrade your service.
Trying jump through hoops with Network Preferences, forgetting the network on your iOS devices, searching your Keychain app (both on your local device AND what you might have synced/store in iClound) will only waste time and give you a headache.
Hope that helps.
