OpenVPN is a great choice for this, as its an SSL VPN. Set it up to listen on port 443 if you can and you will have a high likelyhood of making it out of any public network on the road. Its not uncommon for hotels to blick a lot, but SSL over 443 is pretty much a requirement ;)
If you really want to get sneaky, tunnel over port 53(DNS) as well. Some places wont allow it, but same hotel/coffee shop networks will allow users to make external DNS queries before theyve registered at the captive portal page. As a result its possible that one could avoid providing payment information to a hotel, not that im advocating this...
