Any way to disable wireless roaming?

I'm in hotel with multiple access points, apparently. The wireless is a bit  
dodgy. I see this pop up fairly regularly in /var/log/messages:

Looks like every few minutes I'm hopping between access points. Any way to  
disable this – latch on to one of the access points, and stick ith it?
