I am not sure how easy it will be to connect through the Omni's network. Last year, Someone on my team tried to get his PS2 to connect to the internet and failed.
If the Omni is anything like my college, you will have to bring a laptop to sign on to the Omni network. Then get the assigned IP address off your laptop and give it to your Xbox (possibly the MAC too). Then turn off your laptop (to avoid IP conflicts) and connect with the Xbox. Hopefully the entire hotel is on one router (most likely not), because you cant play across different broadcast domains.
I will be bringing my Xbox and laptop to the Omni. I am also bringing some Cat 5 and a switch just in case. I would suggest you bring some Cat 5 too, because the wall jack because it is more reliable and faster than wireless.
