It’s unbelievable that in 2015 there are still hotels that charge extra for Wi-Fi. I’d never go to such a hotel because in the hospitality business nothing is ever accidental. A facility that charges for Wi-Fi will be outdated in other way and will treat customers like complete tools.

I am not sure of this. I know several people who will not use free Wi-Fi since they assume it will be loaded with malware. I once had my email hacked after using a free computer in a hotel lobby. I have never had this sort of thing happen when I paid for internet access at a hotel business center.

Even if you don’t use it, this is a great sign of how the hotel positions itself vis-a-vis its customers. For instance, even if I don’t drink coffee, I can know everything I need about a restaurant that heats coffee up in a microwave.

Don’t stay in fancy hotels. I think the chains like Motel 6 will not charge you.

Why stay at a hotel at all if it’s not fancy? 🙂

I guess it depends on what “fancy” means. I have stayed in hotels costing $300 a night, although not often. I would not likely stay in a hotel costing $1500 a night. It just does not seem like a good way to spend my limited funds.

It depends if it’s the only hotel for twenty miles.

In my experience, the hotels that charge for wi-fi tend to have lots of business travelers whose companies will pay the wi-fi charges. Hotels that mostly have tourists have free wi-fi. I don’t think the lack of free wi-fi necessarily indicates that a hotel is outdated, it just indicates that business guests outnumber the tourists at that hotel.

That’s a good observation! This does make sense with business guests. But I has to reject a hotel in Florida that charged for Wi-Fi in a very touristy town. These cheapos even charge separate fees per device!
