Just booked a 4 night stay at the Embassy Suites Alexandria, VA, and their wifi fee would come to twice what I pay per month for my high speed connection at home. The rate I booked is a package rate, which includes parking and special event tickets, but being a true FT'er, I'd love to find a way to get the wifi free as well.

No, I don't have status with Hilton, haven't stayed in one in years, but their rate for the event beat Marriott's by about $80/night, so I thought I'd give it a try.
