- internet connectivity at a hotel is just another free amenity like after shyave or a hair net, be glad you can at least check your email :-)
It is like hell. It is very often not one paid, but *unreasonably* expensive ($5-10 a *day*). If you don't know this, it's because you either 1) never looked, 2) were always in hotels on group rates where free access was negotiated in the contract or 3) were very very lucky.
Granted if a hotel markets itself as a business hotel in a business area it should include at least half decent internet connectivity, otherwise forget it and be glad you can spend some time away from the hedonistic attractions of "the net".
One word: "Conventions". No, it really *isn't* acceptable for a hotel not to have decent connectivity these days; would you tolerate a hotel where the power went out from 8-midnight every day?
