For an Embassy’s suites to say that the $20 a night covers:

Daily newspapers - which should be free
Poolside activities and recreation - uninteresting and should be free
​​​​​​​Drive in movies (probably a typo for dive in movies)
​​​​​​​WiFi - which should be free
Gym - which should be free

​​​​​​​really does take the biscuit.
Just noticed the following notation on my Honors home page below my HH status. WiFi is not free at hotels that charge a resort fee.

FREE PREMIUM WiFi*

As a Diamond member you can enjoy FREE PREMIUM WiFi only when you book direct.

*In-Room WiFi access is not free in meeting spaces and at properties with resort charge.
