Free... high-speed Internet access... in every room. That's the way it should be.

At Wingate Inn hotels, every guest now has access to high-speed Internet access connections, in their guest rooms, meeting rooms or boardroom.

Each Wingate Inn hotel is equipped with LodgeNet Entertainment Corporation's On Line by LodgeNet system, which is supported by
national 24-hour customer service. To go online, a guest plugs his or her computer into the room's Ethernet-based Internet jack
and launches the laptop's resident browser application. Access is instantaneous, at speeds up to 50 times faster than traditional
phone modems, with no software installation or re-configurationn required.

Wingate opened its first hotel in July 1996, and now has a 70-property network of upper mid-market hotels.

I have to admit I wasn't familiar with Wingate before receiving their news release regarding their Internet access initiative.

They've got my attention now!
