I really could care less if they charge me for it or not. I was at the H Washington Towers on Sunday and, for some reason, I could get a rate that was parking inclusive, but not internet inclusive. Most of the time, I just expense wherever it is I'm staying and, to me, I really could care less the price, as I travel so much and I'm more interested in comfort.

When will they realize that guys like me... young, tired, stupid, will pay just about anything for a hotel WITH Internet access built into the rate structure, rather than a hotel where' I'll have to pay separately, even if the hotel with it built in is more expensive?

Yeah... someone will point out that I'm overpaying or that blah blah blah. However, whether there's a line item or not, it's there somewhere when it's free. Let just reduce this to an apples-to-apples pricing schema. Also, I like the idea of Mom, Dad and the Kids subsidizing my Internet access... I mean, it almost makes up for them peeing in the pool.
