The iPad does not have a direct way to plug in ethernet which was in the rooms. The workaround as I know is to carry along a cheap router, perhaps an older and smaller Airport Express to plug the ethernet cable in to in the room and thus all set for you own wi-fi, that or the new tethering from AT&T with my iPhone, but then we're have to change this topic to one of slim to none bars of connectivity. But the tethering option isn't my choice since it cost an extra $20 a month and you have to leave the unlimited data plan.

Anyway, that has been my only caveat, the ethernet cable challenge. But something certainly worthy of considering.
