Thanks for the suggestion.
After spending another 6 hours trying everything I could think of I found a good solution.
What I have done is created all users under 1 subscriber, but for each user I have defined a group name within them. This group name matches hotspot user profiles on the router. So, if user 1 has a group name of public, I would setup the hotspot to have 2 groups, public and conference. So if the user logs into that hotspot, their group would be read an they would be logged in using the public user profile.
Obviously only the conference centre hotspot would have the user profile called conference, so if a user tried to login at another hotspot and their group was conference, the conference user profile would not exist so they would get a configuration error on the hotspot login page and would not be allowed to login. To make it a bit more information I modified errors.txt to customise the particular error so the user knows that the error they get is because they are not permitted to login to the hotspot with that user ID.
So what I will do is for hotspots that want to lock certain users to them, I will create a public user profile and a specific one for their site, then when I allocate user ID's to them, I will give them ones specific for their site and generic ones able to be used at any hotspot.
This solution gives me the added bonus of being able to treat specific users for that site differently by using the different user profiles which will be quite handy.
Thanks for all the help.
If anybody need more info about this just reply to this post.
