That was my first thought when I read this: the OP got a MUCH better breakfast than he should have, is complaining about it?

You can now go back downstairs or wherever and your connection will work for free from any floor
Whilst there are plenty of instances where one would find people jumping on a free wireless location (the people that sit just outside an airline's airport lounge, the people that pull into a McDonald's parking lot, etc. etc.) I would think that it would seem kinda' funky to find someone doing so just outside a hotel's executive lounge. If done at a time when hall traffic is low, it probably would go without a hitch. It would be interesting to know what would happen if "caught." At least we know there's a way to get the free wireless (and this probably works at other prop's as well). Whatever works, I guess....
