One thing that sucks about travelling is getting stuck at a hotel without high speed Internet access. I realize that they're still the exception to the rule, and I'll fully admit that I've been spoiled a bit after a few stays at Marriotts that have it.

But going from home, where I use a less-than-perfect but generally reliable broadband service through Comcast -- to the indignities of slow, unreliable dial-up connectivity in an otherwise decent hotel -- is unnecessarily frustrating. I really wish more hotel chains would get with the program and drop Ethernet or Wi-Fi in their hotels.

The only other complaint I have about this room is the complete dearth of electrical outlets. There isn't even a courtesy outlet on the base of the lamp at my desk -- I had to move the credenza to plug in my PowerBook's AC adapter!
