Unfortunately, that's a dog's breakfast of consumer-grade hardware that should never have been installed in a commercial setting in the first place.

Shaw's offering is actually a pretty good price, surprisingly.

He could buy a pfSense/Netgate SG-2440 to replace the (p.o.s., IMHO) RV320 and get captive portal functionality built in.
I would replace all the wireless with Ubiquity.
But obviously the hotel doesn't want to spend any actual money on this, so...
Grab an old PC, put 3 NICs in it, install pfSense Community Edition, and off to the races.

I've used simple dd-wrt captive portal and it worked.

I'm fairly certain the ubiquity has a similar feature that I've touched
with as well.

There are a few companies such as cloudessa that provide 'cloud captive
portal services'.. that might be what you're looking for. I can't vouch
for them at all though;

My nephew needs a recommendation for a captive portal service for a
hotel.

Has anybody ever set one of these up? Advice?

Here are his particulars:

Hello to all who read this,
My name is Andrew Popowich, and I was encouraged to send an email to
this group in possibly getting some help. A hotel where I live, is
needing a Guest Splash page to appear whenever someone connects to
the wifi in the hotel. (Every time it is connected – I will explain)
The internet is through Shaw, getting 150 open internet if they don’t
have it already by now. We installed a Cisco RV320 (non WebFi unit)
to split the internet into 2 networks. (192.168.130.1 – corporate //
no wifi) and (192.168.123.1 – Guest wifi // no wired) We added a TP
LINK 750 as the router for Wifi communication, connected to a switch,
and then from the switch, 2 X TP LINK Archer C7 1750 as access
points(dhcp disabled), and an enGenius 2.4 Ghz outdoor Access point
(dhcp disabled) to spread more coverage. My question is this : What
can I add to economically get a splash page to show every time a
guest connects to the public wifi, including, when they leave the
hotel, and come back, they have to re-sign in to that splash page to
continue using the internet in their rooms ? I have access to
computer parts and etc, if a computer can be added in the line to do
this task, or will that idea even work ? Let me know if more
information is needed. I appreciate any help I can get on this,
Andrew Popowich p.s. I spoke with Shaw Business and they stated since
the hotel has 53 rooms, the cost for Shaw’s Managed Wifi service, is
$700 a month. And they would not be able to use ANY of the equipment
that we have added in the past 4 months, total of that being around
$2000.00 for equipment, and labor.
