Sorry for getting to this so late -- but I don't know what could be
wrong...  One possibility is that the connection is slow or suffers
from occasional hangups, which will make the client time out.  Another
possibility is that the hotel network uses a proxy -- and in some of
these cases there is not much to do.

  http://subversion.tigris.org/faq.html#proxy

might help some.  One thing they mention there is that using https
sometimes helps in bypassing bad proxies, so I made the repository
available that way too -- use

  https://svn.plt-scheme.org/...

for that.  (It will probably warn you that the certificate is bogus.)
