I'd like to understand this scenario better, as at present I am
confused.

Among my confused thoughts are the following questions: What were the
steps that led to a mail address and mail server in my hotel room? Which
part of the hotel's policy forced me into that? Does any hotel actually
do this? In your understanding, which SMTP server is the STMP client on
my laptop talking to in order to send it's mail?

I would have expected instead that having got IP connectivity, my mail
reader on my laptop would have connected back to my normal home (e.g.:
pop3.mycompany.com/smtp.mycompany.com) and then sent and received mail
through there as usual, resulting in the normal From headers, etc.
