Its too bad one little thing shot it for me. Something that any respectable, modern hotel should have. Even the not so respectable or modern hotels have it. Free Wi-Fi. They are already making bank off people who stay here. How much does it cost to put a few routers in and pump the ubiquitous Internet through? They want to charge $10 per day! This disgusts me. In an era of constant connectivity where your primary customer is more likely to have a wi-fi enabled lap top than a pen and paper on his person, it only makes sense to cater to them. I am disgusted.
I almost got over that when I tethered my phone to blog this. Then I noticed strike two. $5 to use the gym!?!?
These are things that should not be charged for! It should go with out saying that these are complementary!
There are somethings that I expect to be included. They already do pay per view whats next? pay per flush?? A buck to ride the elevator?
Have you been turned off to an establishment because you had to pay for something you thought should be free? (like the notorious fee charged to use some European toilets?)
What else should be complementary?
