Why do we have to pay to access the internet at hotels where we choose to stay?
Surely, Wi-Fi should be included and part of the deal. In today’s world most people require internet access for both work and pleasure. A favourable hotel rate can be ruined when you add in the payment for internet access. It reminds me of the days when hotels charged exorbitant charges for telephone calls. It is a rip off!
We, as customers, ultimately have the power to change this for everyone. We need to start voting with our feet. We should be supporting those establishments that offer a fair deal and include free Wi-Fi. There are accommodation providers out there that have seen the light and have included internet access as part of their service. We should be rewarding them with our custom.
We are going to make an effort to publish a list of all the hotels and other accommodation providers that we feature in our CUin Guides which offer free Wi-Fi access. Hotels should be advertising the broadband speed of the service available as a benefit to encourage us to stay with them, not the costs!
We will start with London Heathrow Airport and analise what the various hotels are charging and highlight those - which have seen the light - offering Wi-Fi complimentary as a service. Watch this space.
