I am currently staying at the Omni Parker House in Boston, where they very proudly display a brass sign at the front desk confirming they offer free high speed internet access in every room. The desk clerk said this was the policy at all Omni properties, and it works WELL, as I'm on it now. I do admit it is a pet-peeve to get charged for high-speed internet at full service Marriotts when an increasing number of their competitors do NOT charge for this service. I am a Platinum Premier, so I have been pretty loyal over the years. On some occasions, I'll ask that the rate be bumped by $10 per night and the internet charge NOT be reflected on my hotel bill. I travel on business, but bill out my travel expenses to my clients, who on occasion have inquired about the internet charges. In the future, I may ask that the charges be waived altogether. It will be interesting to see what the reaction is, given the increasing competitive pressures from the market place.
