Speed: I can't think of the last time I was in a hotel where the WiFi was strong and fast.

Access: I hate systems that require unique keys. The front desk frequently forgets to hand out the keys to every guest. Besides, it's totally unnecessary. If the hotel still feels like it needs to place control on WiFi access in 2011, then it can do so by simply asking name and room number. That's strong enough validation for a Homewood Suites.

For a Homewood Suites though, I'd want a strong fast wired connection in the room. I imagine lots of people out-of-town for weeks would prefer the option to plug in directly...even if there's also a weaker WiFi option.
