I don't think I've ever seen a nicer place charge me actual money for wifi, but usually they force you to sign up for their dumb membership club or newsletter (so, not exactly free either).

My last trip I had a box of those soylent shakes sent ahead of me and just used those for breakfast - reasonably healthy and tasty enough. Better then the free breakfast for my use case anyways.

I'll second Hilton on good customer service though, definitely one of my preferred chains. That and the business oriented Holiday Inn Express or whatever they're calling it now.
