Starwood - free for Platinum members worldwide
It looks like Marriott is the only main hotel chain that does not have free internet for gold and platinum members worldwide. They need to match their competitors, and I expect them to do so before the end of 2010.
Intercontinental is the other one, usually free in the US could cost and arm and both legs elsewhere.
eg. I just stayed at Holiday Inn Heathrow airport, room inc. breakfast was £35 internet would have been £15 that's 40% of the room price; MacDonalds a 5 min. walk away charge nothing...
