Do you have any photos you can share to highlight the areas they let you down? What did you pay on priceline? Could you have booked a better hotel at a similar price?
we had to pay $15 a day for wi-fi
I have to wonder how many hotels you have stayed in. I've done Hyatt, Fairmont, Hilton, Holiday Inn, Crowne Plaza, and Westin just in the last few months. Not a one of them offered free wi-fi. Hyatt does offer wi-fi to their elite members, as does Fairmont. The Westin was $16.95 if I wanted it this past weekend in Seattle. The Crowne Plaza was $9.99. Free wi-fi does exist at some properties such at Hyatt Place and Hampton Inn, but it is still not common to see that across the board at all hotels. It's an unrealistic expectation.
