I've had some bad experiences with some of the lower tier hotels (Choice & some Ramada's) when it comes to internet access. Often your only choice is a noisy dialup modem, which is almost like no internet access.

I've stayed 9 times at an HI last year (my Gold lapses this month) and the reason I chose them again and again was not the water, goodies, etc. but a consistently quiet place, breakfast, and a decent high speed internet access.

Even as a Silver, I'll continue using HI.
