I'm staying in a hotel and the link code displayed is not working when I type it from my smartphone.

So, you're trying to set up a brand new Roku player at a hotel? Just want to be sure what code you are referring to. The link code not working is the first sign you are not connected to the legitimate Roku web site. Spammers have figured out how to hijack the attempt to connect via a spoofed DNS page. Make sure you're going to this exact URL: https://my.roku.com/link. If you get a security warning, you've been redirected to a spam site. DON'T use it, and DON'T call any phone number listed on the page. All they want is to convince you to pay a "registration" fee, which Roku does not do. They also try to get you to pay for an "upgraded" account. Again, Roku has no such thing, and they don't charge for registration or support. And there's no limit to the number of devices you can have, so their attempt to say to have reached your limit and need to pay for additional devices is also a scam.
If you're certain you have the correct URL, you must now confirm the Roku is connected fully to the Internet. Most hotel networks require some sort of authentication for devices to connect to the network and reach the Internet. It's possible your device has generated a link code but isn't fully connected to the Internet so the Roku servers haven't seen it. In this case, I recommend using a phone hotspot to get the Roku cleanly onto the Internet, then try again.
i have also try to put in the link code and it just keeps asking me to put it in again..ive hooked up 3 in the same home all hooked up good but my code for the 4th roku it wont accept. I asked for a new one and that also wont accept so i cant go forward with out it.

Need to confirm exactly what is happening. Are you in the initial setup, and are trying to link a new Roku to your existing Roku user account? And the web site you are entering the code is https://my.roku.com/link ?
If both of those are accurate, try using a different Internet connection for the Roku, such as a smart phone hotspot. It doesn't make sense, but it's worked for many people.
Thanks for the inquiry.
How many Roku devices do you have linked to your Roku account? We would recommend removing any unused Roku devices from your account then trying to activate your device to see if that resolves the issue.
Please keep us posted.

I'm not aware of any restriction to the number of devices. Would seem to be very short sighted if true. I think I had 7-8 on my account at one time, but I've given a couple to my daughter for the grandkids.
Thanks for the post.

Thanks for the information.
How many Roku devices are linked to your Roku account that are currently in use?
We would recommend creating another Roku account to continue adding additional Roku devices for activation.
Thanks,
