Charging for WiFi? That's old school...
Strange. Even the most out of the way, cheap ass motels I've stayed at had free wifi.... at least this probably means we'll have a good signal...? Is that $12 a DAY?!

I got that info off yelp reviews. On their website it's entirely non-specific, only stating (fee) next to Wifi. So I can't say for sure that its $12 per day but that would be my assumption. I was able to book this before teh demand spiked so i got it for $179/night, but now it's $259 or more depending on which site you look at. I guess their assumption is if you can afford to pay that much money for a room you can afford $12 for wifi? in a hotel of 2000+ rooms i seriously question the signal strength.
for anyone concerned, i also read parking is $50/day.

We made the mistake of driving to the Chicago shows in 2006. We stayed at the Hyatt and parked there. Huge mistake. I'm thinking it was $25 per day then, but I may be wrong. In any case I remember feeling screwed when I saw the bill. Also, I've heard some of these big hotels still charge for wi-fi because they got into long term contracts with internet companies several years ago and are still paying high prices themselves. However, that doesn't sound plausible to me. I mean, how long of a contract would they have signed? More than likely their contract with a provider ran out and they continue to charge because they like the cash flow. I won't be using their wi-fi this time, or their parking. We are taking the train, and I'll just use my phone for the internet.

I will have to use their wifi - $12 a day will still be cheaper than what I'd end up paying for international roaming and data fees. :fp: But I'll be shocked if it's $12 a DAY. If it is, I might just do what I can to get it comped. Work my wiles or whatever. Because $12 a day is practically criminal. I'm thinking the person from trip advisor must have meant it was $12 for their entire stay or something.
$50 a day parking is also criminal. I read somewhere that there is normal priced parking close by though.

i think it was a marriott in charleston that was trying to charge me. i called the front desk asking for the password and they said it was 10 or whatever per day. i was like you are kidding right? :fp: ultimatly, they gave me a special password for the week.
my advice...call the front desk.
or go to the lobby..ussally the lobby has free wifi. :roll:
or have one person buy it and share the password here

I will definitely do what I can go get it for free. When I tell them how much my canadian phone bill will be because of my trip even with free wifi they will likely take pity on me.

The reason I assume the charge is per day is because it wouldn't make sense to charge a guest staying for one night the same fee as a guest staying for 10 nights for wifi use. I think I will probably pay for wifi the first day, just to make planning and research a bit easier, then just use the phone the rest of the time. Or find the nearest Dunkin Donuts and use their wifi lol
