go to the router setup page
enable mac address filtering
put in your mac addresses (you can find them by going to run->cmd and then typing in 'ipconfig /all' in windows. the mac address is in the 'physical address' entry)
restart the router
all done

I would also get wpa encryption going, mac spoofing is trivial, so is wpa pretty much, but together, it may be enough to deter.

Yes you can get WPA or WEP depending on which it supports. Overall though most people in these hotel rooms aren't going to be smart enough to go to that level. Not broadcasting SSID + mac filtering will determine 99.9% of all wireless abusers. FWIW i have it enabled on mine but it is more work more work, especially for someone as clueless about this as the OP so i didn't suggest it.
