You have to be careful with your scheme. You may end up paying with no recourse. Free internet access does NOT mean all of it is free. The front desk will tell you which plan is free.
Most hotels with a wires internet line will only offer that as the free internet. If you want wireless, you have to pay. The T&C only state free internet. They do not state that it has to be the fastest plan, the wireless, or that we get to chose which plan we want.
It's like saying free parking. That does not mean the valet parking is free, too.
