Sheraton Imperial, Durham, NC (actually not in Durham but between Raleigh and Durham near the airport).
Sheraton Raleigh, NC does not "provide" free hsia, but the city of Raleigh has a free hotspot downtown that can be accessed from most Sheraton rooms.

Well, the OP decided to include other paid. So I followed up with more detail.
Personally, I find this quite helpful since the starwoodhotels.com websites refuse to give any detail beyond "(Charge)". I personally don't want to only know which ones are free. I also want to know which ones have been pegged for NOT being free. And I especially want to know if there is a particular hotel that gouges guests (Westin Whistler, IMO) or if there is a deal that would cut costs.
If you frequent Wayport locations, then you might consider either a monthly or annual membership. Or consider purchasing prepaid cards that can bring down the cost to $5 per day. In addition, Wayport is used at many non-Starwood hotels and businesses -- including a few airports, IIRC. It's not for everyone and it's not free. But it's a way to cut some costs from the usual $10+. And since Wayport's own website does not have a list that exclusively shows Starwood properties, I decided it made the most sense to post it here.
That's why. The OP may use as he wishes. If it were up to me, this would eventually be a comprehensive database of the cost of HSIA, the cost of parking, and the cost/inclusions/exclusions of resort fees. Or maybe this would all one day end up in BlondeBomber's valuable SPG spreadsheet.

Sheraton Long Island charges $9.95 but has free wireless access in the Executive Lounge.
Sheraton Frankfurt Hotel & Towers charges 18 Euro ($23.98! at today's exchange rate). Internet is free in the Towers rooms. They also might give it to Platinums if they don't have upgrades available to the nicer rooms. Ask nicely!
Sheraton Moana Surfrider, in Oahu, charges (can't remember how much). You can sometimes catch other free Wi Fi connections if you are out in the lanai (at least in the lower floor suites of the Tower section).
Westin La Cantera Resort in San Antonio, TX charges, even in the Casitas section. $10.95, if I remember right.
Westin Ka'anapali Ocean Resort Villas has free wireless access in the lobby. Owners there get free wired HSIA in the rooms, not sure about renters there.

This brand standard only applies to Four Points in the US and Canada. It would still be appropriate to list Four Points that are outside of these two countries.
