Short answer is no.

a) You would need to be somewhat techy to get a Roku going when not on home network since typically hotels require you to accept terms/login with your room number first so it's not as straightforward as hooking up a Roku at home.

b) The hotel bandwidth is so limited, you would not be able to stream anything in acceptable resolution. Any Free Wi-Fi at places like Starbucks etc. would have the same problem.

For traveling I recommend either having a cell-phone with 4G LTE reception in your travel area that you can tether to your laptop/iPad and then use WatchESPN/ESPN3. This kind of requires knowing how to set it up though. OR an easier option is to buy a 4G LTE aircard from someone like Verizon and hook up to your laptop, however this is very very expensive.

Some hotels have fast internet that will allow you to just use ESPN3 on your laptop and view it in HD but that's rare. I wouldn't carry a Roku with me though, it's use is for home for people that don't want to hook up a laptop to their TV all the time. It's meant to save you from carrying things around.
