Wireless Networking AP setup in a hotel

I am thinking of buying a small AP for use when I am traveling. Many
hotels now provide WIRED internet access that would assigned you a
dynamic IP address to your laptop. Most of the time the first time you
connect, it would bring you to a "subscribe website" to which you would
have to agree to pay or some sort of legal acknowledgement. This is not
a problem. I would like to hook up a small/mini Access Point to the
ethernet cable in the hotel room, and then enable my wireless
connection in my laptop so I am not tethered to the wire. Would I be
able to see the subscription page so that I can get connected to the
internet  even though the laptop has a different MAC address than the
AP?

Yes, if the AP is simply bridging.

It's a small shirt pocket sized AP that can connect to LAN's, and also has a
dial-up modem built in for those places that don't have a network. Great for
traveling, I've been using one for years.
