I just paid an extra $10 to get internet in my hotel room
so post something worthwhile! If ten people each post a $1 thread, I will feel I got value for my money. :-)

3. Ten bucks isn't so bad...
If you were in Vegas, you'd be paying 25-35 toadskins per day.

I really shouldn't complain, though. My boss reimburses me. That said, I've found that the cheaper hotels offer free WiFi. The "nicer" places make you pay out the ass.

9. My boss pays for mine too.
Unfortunately, I'm self employed. And this is a red roof inn, blech!

11. Ha! The last time I was in Red Roof,
I stole the free WiFi from the hotel next door. I didn't realize that I was being an "internet hobo" until I thanked the guy at the front desk for having a free connection. His reply was:

"WiFi? What?"

This was in Nashville, BTW.

15. Every hotel is different, it is obnoxious.
I use several chain hotels, haven't stayed in a red roof in a couple of years (no comedy central). But now they have remodeled and HAVE comedy central. I am annoyed at the internet surcharge too. I would be an internet hobo if I could!

21. With the sucky economy and the diminished travel industry, one would
think that hotels would offer free internet as an incentive to stay with their chain. :shrug:
