IANAL, but I believe they are. State laws may also apply (e.g. California Code - Section 502). In California, it is illegal to "knowingly and without permission disrupts or causes the disruption of computer services or denies or causes the denial of computer services to an authorized user of a computer, computer system, or computer network." Blocking access to somebody's personal hot spot most likely qualifies.
My guess would be that the hotel or other organizations using the blocking tech would probably just say the users/admin of the rogue APs are not authorized users as setting up said AP would probably be in contravention of the AUP of the hotel/org network.
