The pool has been down for a short period of time. Have you tried again? It should be up now.

Are you legitimately trying to mine with your pc?

Maybe some ports used by miners are blocked in your hotel.

Yes, that's most likely the problem. They may be blocking all non-standard ports, including 3333.

Your uPnP could be disabled on the Wi-Fi router.

UPnP is inbound port mapping, it has nothing to do with an outbound connection.
