I think that if I were the hotel, I would put a sticker on the real
phone next to the Ethernet jack saying "in case of emergency, dial 911
on this phone."
The goal here is to provide working 911 to people who need it. I have
never seen a hotel room with an ethernet jack but no phone, and I
doubt that anyone else has, either.
