Whether the hotel is Wired or Wireless..... I'll use it if it's free. If it's pay, I'll definitly ping for a wireless connection. Last resort is to pay.

I was in Induianapolis last week and stayed at the downtown Hilton. $9.95 a day for wired access. turns out that someone living in the lofts across the street had left an open access point. No worries.... and worked like a charm.

When I stay in Indy at the Marriott... assuming I'm on the correct side of the building, I'll also get free access from the Weston next door.

It's all about the connection.
