Luckily today, you can see whether Wi-Fi is free on the premises, and give the Hotel its well deserved boot if it's not.

- kinkrtyavimoodh 10y agoHotel WiFi in fancy hotels has a much higher expectation of quality / service level than that in a small-ish motel or youth hostel. If the CEO of $BigCorp has to have a Skype call with the client, they won't want package drops and 10 minutes of 'Hello can you hear me'. I am guessing the overall cost of running a reliable reasonably-high-speed WiFi in the whole hotel is much greater than just having a bunch of routers. Of course, whether fancy hotels actually end up delivering said quality and service levels, I dunno.

They don't, my experience says your WiFi will be more crappy at a Hilton/Westin/whatever than a Best Western or even a Motel 6. No, the reason you pay more is because odds are you aren't paying for it, your company is. Motel 6 could never get away with it because that money comes out of my pocket.
