It sure does. On the astricon.net site you will find "High-speed internet access provided by STSN" under hotel features. I know from experience in other Marriots that there is an adaptor in the room (an xDSL I'm sure) with a 10/100 ethernet on it. You register when you connect for $9.99 per 24hr span to connect. I am not sure about Wifi. It would be bad if the hotel for Astricon didn't let us use our SIP phones!
Assuming the equipment is the same stuff that's installed at many of the Marriott hotels, it talks a web browser to activate the service. The browser is auto-redirected to an internal hotel web page, and you authorize the access for the fee (for 24 hours as noted above).
Be carefull with assumptions... some of these arrangements require the web browser access to open the channel again during that 24 hour period. I was at one last week, and used a hub in the room thinking I could use a snom 200 for making calls. Didn't work. PC worked fine has long as I started with the web browser, then x-lite would work; but the snom never did. (The snom has been used in lots of hotel rooms around the country, and I'm quit comfortable with its ability to handle nating, firewalls, etc.) I wouldn't make any assumptions relative to sip and iax2 though.

Rich,
Experimenting at various Marriots in several states tells that STSN binds that $9.99 charge your in-room box and MAC address. I register with my laptop (RHEL3 WS & Mozilla) then do NAT firewalling with a second NIC (or built in WiFi) to support other devices. I would love to try with one of the 802.11b WiFi phones for a nice cordless phone...
