Usually, a pop-up will appear or a new browser tab will ask for your room number and password.

You can always call the front desk and see if they know.

Also, if it says you are connected, can you still browse? If so, you don't need the room number and password then.

nope...i cant browse and nothing pop up on the screen. The wifi icon showed connected on the top right screen.
I have no problem connecting the hotel wifi on my samsung galaxy note 3 phone.

Turn the wifi on/off and keep opening and closing Safari. Sometimes, for whatever reason, the network login doesn't want to show up. I always have this issue at Starbucks.

Did you select a network to join ?

If not click on the the little wifi symbol in the top bar and choose the hotel network

Really? Asking here is better than just picking up the phone to reception

Normally hotel WiFi is designed to be super-easy to connect to AND they have guides in the rooms, people to help etc etc etc....

Over the years, I've noticed that Safari doesn't always redirect to the login page. Try clearing your Safari cache to see if that helps.

I usually keep a second browser, such as Firefox for the rare occasion where Safari has issues, and find it to redirect just fine.

thank everyone...its now fixed

I keep Firefox installed pretty much for this purpose. Safari often doesn't offer the login pages but FF seems to every time.

Sometimes the pop up safari screen does not appear. I will open Safari up manually and type in a website "www.apple.com" or anything else, when the network brings up the login page.

I found the solution and it is soooo easy!!! Don't open the Internet with chrome or Firefox or anything except safari. Just connect to the guest wifi then open safari and the log in page will pop up. It has to be safari or it won't work.
