Business Hotels and Not

7/25/2015

The number one thing I ever need in a business hotel is fast, free, password-free internet.  I never find this at business hotels.

This weekend I am at a chain hotel of the cheaper variety.  It does not have a business office where I can print things.  It has no pool and no fitness room.  It is an older building as evidenced by the phone jacks all over including the bathroom.  It pre-dates cell phones.

It does have fast, free, password-free internet.

If I was at a business hotel charging twice as much, there would be slow irritating wireless service which I could upgrade to competency for a sizable sum of money.  This is bad business.  If the price of the premium internet was rolled into the room cost, I wouldn't think twice about it.  To charge me a large extra fee for what the coffee shop gives away free makes me want to stay at the coffee shop.  I wonder if they rent cots at Dunkin' Donuts.
