You really need to speak with the hotel staff to check that you are connecting to the correct wireless network. It sounds like DHCP (the service that allocates IP addresses) isn't working properly on the wireless network that you have connected to. Your laptop is using an IP address of 169.254.41.134 but you didn't get this from the hotel - this is an example of a default local address that Windows will give itself when it can't get one from the network. This IP address will give you no access to the network at all. You are also missing a Default Gateway for the same reasons.
