Bad time to bid I guess.

Hotel is a typical Holiday Inn. Ok restaurant downstairs. NO WIRELESS. TV has horrible reception, and up on the 5th floor my water pressure takes a dive during peak times. Elevators are suprisingly efficient though.

NO WIRELESS.

The hotel's website says the rooms have wireless. Not true?

[owreck]

It is being worked on, but not yet available. Rooms are hardwired. If you want to work while relaxing on the bed you'll need a 6 to 8 foot network cable.

Or have invested in a wireless travel router (see our deal discussion from last December)

Last week I was in Portland, OR and I stayed at three different hotels where the "free highspeed wireless" didn't work. Twice it was due to the location of my room within the hotel (but I didn't want to move because the room had other advantages) and once the network was down for the whole hotel. I find wired internet more reliable than wireless. But I don't ever use my laptop in bed and a short cord is enough for me.
