Well, if last night is anything to go by, it doesn't make any difference whatsoever. I still got the pashmina/scarf thingy!

Consistency of benefits is not always a good thing - they could always standardise on NO free internet
Perhaps more important in structuring IC SIN's internet strategy is what other 4 & 5-star hotels in Singapore do. Sadly, my experience remains limited to the IC and the CP - any more wide-ranging experience?

From what I know, Traders chain offers free internet. Hyatt, to its middle and top tier elites, Starwood to its top tiers.
In most hotels with club lounges, they almost always offer complimentary in-room internet.
This one strikes me a strange.
