Now that you are able to setup a discreet network between your mobile device, or tablet, and the Chromecast Audio, this is an awesome option for vacationing.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The Chromecast requires an open WiFi or securied WiFi you can access with a password. If you are required to fill out a form in a browser window to access the WiFi, it will not work.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I'll work if the wifi is private or if you setup a hotspot with it. If the wifi isn't private then everyone connected to it will be able to stream to it too.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I would say it would be better to get a quality bluetooth speaker like the EU Boom or any of the Ultimate Ear bluetooth speakers would be good. They're also battery powered so you can use them anywhere. The EU Roll is even waterproof (I forget if the Boom) is so you could take it to the pool or beach without worrying.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.That would only work if the internet access didn't have a splash page to login. Chromecasts and chromecast audios in general don't work with those unfortunately. Though if it was a simple password protect to connect to the wifi (without an internet page login) you wouldn't have an issue.
