It's likely that the issue is due to that specific hotel / ISP instead of blaming the entire Marriott chain. In fact, you could contact Marriott for them to investigate.

Hotel chains usually have brand standards relating to internet access, so this particular install may be in violation. For example, I know the Hilton chain requires its (newer) hotels to use AT&T, so it's unlikely there's tampering from the ISP/provider standpoint (though MITM attacks are still possible so always use a VPN).

There's a great entrepreneurship network at MIT (speaking as an alum and as past lead organizer of some of the clubs there). You could always go and work on your PhD while getting networked into the community there. As you build your network and learn, there's always the possibility of taking leave to found a startup if the right opportunity happens before your thesis is done - happens all the time.

We also use QuickBooks Online - having it online is just easier for your accountant or CFO to log in and keep track of the books. If you use the desktop version, you'll be emailing files back and forth.

Clicking the resubmit button does not mark your application as late (otherwise, #6 on the instructions would be misleading). You just have to make sure you submit at least once before the deadline. The URL to the app will probably be replaced with the late app tomorrow, and then you won't be able to get back in. Best of luck to all applicants.
