If this inconvenience's an innocent web user, I have neither ability to detect the inconvenience nor to determine the user's innocence. I understand your hotel analogue. In England many hotel guests use their mobile phones or tablets - not on wifi but on direct radio (mobile telephone) links; each link having a distinctive IP address.

If the web hacker is operating through a data centre, then I permanently block, for port 80, the whole of the data centre's known IP block.

The alternative is to be a willing victim.

It's more a question of why you run the service at all. If blocking people from reaching it doesn't bother you, why not just shut it down?
