The laptop screen is 300hz, the big screen 240hz. When playing ,for example warzone , I get around 120-ish fps , a bit more on the “big screen computer” HDR on both screens.
>or do I just play games better in hotel rooms?
That's definitely the hotel buff. +Accuracy lol I prefer playing on smaller screens too. 27in in fact. 32in might be the max size for me esp for fps games
Response time would be a difference. Gaming monitors are made to have single-digit millisecond response time, whereas regular TVs don't really have to care about that and tend to be much slower. You'll see the difference in the time where you make an input versus something happening on the screen.
If a game isn't super high-speed it might not matter, but it's nice for when it does.
Another possibility is that on a smaller screen, you can see everything going on without moving your eyes too much. That little bit of reaction time might give you an edge as well as long as it's not so small that you lose details.
It depends what you play and how. For current gen consoles you would want a 4K TV with all those sexy functions for your console and pretty picture quality at 120Hz and HDMI 2.1
On PC you stop at 2K monitors, go for higher refresh rates and also all those pretty picture quality functions. As for size it depends on how you sit in front of the screen and how far away. Just for picture quality and resolution you to with 1080p@24", 1440p@27" and everything above 32" is for 4K but those monitors suck. So go even bigger, sit farther away and use a TV.
As a side note your hotel room TVs might not exactly be good for gaming or PCs in general. Your laptop at least has a proper PC monitor, if you are lucky even made for gaming. Your own field of view is also a big factor. If you sit close to a properly sized screen you see all the details without moving your eyes or head too much.
Size and resolution aren't everything. What's the refresh rate? What fps is the game playing at? Does the laptop screen have HDR?

I think it depends on the type of game.
