How frequently do you stay in hotels that make you pay for the wifi?

All Korean hotels below 4 star level are essentially love hotels, although three star hotels will sometimes put on a veneer of respectability if they're going for the foreign tourist market.

I have never made my decision based on wifi.  In fact I dont think I have known in advance whether it was free or not.

I don't either, but I make my decision based on the presence of bullshit fees.  It just rubs me the wrong way, because in effect it is deceptive advertising.  I only stay in hotels with bullshit fees if my employer pays for it.

Never paid at hotels anywhere in Asia.

Are those the ones that charge hourly rates?

I have heard that the Japanese love hotels at least are cheaper than regular hotels and very good quality for the price.
When I went to Nara I stayed in a place which used to be a love hotel but was trying to go respectable and it was cheap as sin, like £6 more than a capsule hotel, but seemed like a really pricey place.

I wouldn't know. Our ISPs have agreements with operators in most worthwhile places, so when I ramp up my laptop, I'll always connect to my ISP's partner and skip the hotel's wi-fi service altogether.

Some years ago, I did have some connection problems and asked the concierge of the hotel I was in (a Sheraton), about their WiFi, and they did charge... but IIRC it was all quite confusing and that I had to tell them when and for how long I'd surfed, or somesuch.

I'm not sure about all the details, but I DO recall that I just went up to the room, connected my laptop and forgot all about it. Didn't pay anything.

So Hilton charged me. Weston is not because of membership in their loyalty program - though my floor also mentions it is preferred guest floor.

I don't stay at hotels that are so classy you have to pay for wifi.

I miss having a job that let me stay at Westins. 

I wonder if you can transfer Starwood points to another person.

[garbon]

You can transfer to airlines.
