My understanding is, if you're talking LogMeInPro, you can access your computer at work using a web browser. So you don't even need to lug a laptop over to do this. Mind you, you may be more comfortable with a laptop in your hotel room than trying to do payroll in an internet cafe!
Security is SSL/TLS, which is the same security protocol used by online banking. So you should be able to see everything you normally see on your desktop, including your banking software, providing you have installed it correctly on your work computer.
You should be able to do your payroll AND send the payroll file from the LogMeIn session, which would be much safer than using internet banking on the hotel's computer.
So, if you are a total martyr or the world will really grind to a halt if you take a holiday, then it is not a bad solution.
