No Free Wi-Fi in McCormick?

I realize that convention centers and hotels are looking for revenue, but can we please, please, please get past charging guests for access? I find it ironic that many associations have figured out that charging for access to information isn’t working, but many of our partner venues still charge folks to get on the ‘net to begin with. There’s got to be a better way to make a dime. I’d make it a point to patronize properties that provided free internet access to guests.

I am so with you, Kristi. I have been on the road for the past 2 months and have learned that the more upscale the property is, the more I will have to pay for internet access. Why is it the small highway motel can provide free wi-fi but the "nice" properties charge us an arm and a leg? I thought $9.95 was bad, but it is just over $13 a day in my hotel this year. Amazing!
