I am looking to implement a WiFi solution for a hotel where the guests will use the wireless internet access. I'm sure I could go buy a Linksys access point, but what would be a good hospitality solution.

There are several factors to consider here. Size is the big concern. You will need wireless coverage throughout the hotel, so you will need to design your access points accordingly. make sure you have AP's and not routers. I have a college campus that runs Cisco AP's for all their students. Albeit, pricey, it is dependable, which is probably the most important thing to a customer.

Sonic Wall has also released some very clean AP's and you can also set up guest accounts where the end user has to log in to gain access. there is also another solution where you actually "paint" the side of a building, a tad pricey but extremely effective, if you are interested drop me an email and I will provide you with the company info.

I was just on the website www.boingo.com. It is a network of WiFi locations. I found this when I was looking on the Linksys website at the WRV54G. That site was https://www.linksys.com/products/product.asp?grid=33&scid=35&prid=565.

For a commercial application, you may want to go with something higher-end, as mentioned by the others, but this Boingo site may also provide you with some other ideas.

I have also seen some hotspot-type equipment at www.us.zyxel.com.

The solution WE did included VDSL to the rooms and Internet Subscriber Gateways that would allow users with any IP settings to access the internet. It would also not allow computers to "see each other" for customer security, And the first time you use the internet the hotel's website comes up.

I would have to agree with ttech, as security is an issue when dealing with a wireless network. All the simple access points and gateways provide to much of a security risk when there are multiple computers. If you are using wireless in the hotel, spend the money and buy yopurself some quality cisco equipment.

Colubris Networks makes an absolute BEAST as far as wireless access is concerned. Great range, awesome security settings, and they're specifically MADE for hotel use. Check it out.
