I don't stay in NZ Hotels so cant comment on free internet .
If I stay somewhere without fibre or VDSL I tend to use my bundled data .
As for frequencies pretty standard really except for Spark / Skinny
which has 3G on 850 MHz

Vodafone 2g 900Mhz a little 1800mhz in early days
3g 900mhz ( extended ) and 2100mhz
4g 700mhz ( extended ) 1800 and 2600mhz
2 Degrees 2g 900mhz
3g 900mhz ( extended ) 2100mhz
4g 1800 MHz
Spark
Skinny 3g 850mhz / 2100mhz
4g 700mhz ( extended ) 1800Mhz

If you want to use the Spark Network for Data Skinny has some good bundled add ons
I used the Spark Wifi a few times was disappointed in the speed !
