A Conondrum
Hilton and the internet.
Over the last year I have briefly resided in three or four different Hilton Motels. Their "rack rate" is usually in excess of $100 per night. At each of these establishments I was offered connection to the internet for a fee, differing by hotel from $4.95 an hour to $10.95 a day with the big whopper at Las Vegas - $12.99 daily.
I have also stayed at a Holiday Inn, Days Inn, and Microtel, all of which cost less than $70/night.
YET! - each of these 2nd rate motels provided FREE, yes, FREE internet access.
I have pointed this out to each of the Hiltons, and as you might guess, never got a logical response.
