Recently stayed in a series of lower-middle end hotels in the UK, Premier Inn charged me £3 for 24hrs of wifi the first time I was there and then gave it to me for free on subsequent stays at the same hotel. Holiday Inn (which is priced about half a tier higher than Premier Inn and has restaurants, gyms, and things like that which Premier Inn does not) wanted to charge me £26 for 24 hours. In fact, I googled just now to confirm that I'd remembered Premier Inn's policy and see that they've coincidentally announced today that normal wifi will now be free and you only have to pay for fast wifi (fast enough for streaming media). That's obviously a much better deal and I wouldn't be surprised if a few years from now they make that free as well.
