Do You book a Hotel for Free Internet

You know ten years ago you would have never heard this complaint. “The hotel is horrible, the staff was so rude when I asked the hotel why their internet was down for four hours, which is the reason I stayed here.” I guess I just can’t believe this is the sole reason someone would book a hotel.

I guess I jsut feel like there are many other things that you can do at a hotel besides surf the web. I like to go to hotel bars, meet new people, chat it up. I usually could care less about the internet in a hotel, and I am a guru. I like to find hotels that are close to things to do, or have a spa, or are on the beach. I really could care less about spending my time on the internet.

We just received a review on my site that rated a hotel 1 out of 5 points because their internet was down. The hotel was a 4 star property. Can you seriously say that the hotel had that bad of service simply because the internet was down. Here is the funny thing. The good points about it were good food, great prices and a large room. Also good parking and the security system is great. The bad points the internet was down.

I just can’t believe that it would be an eighty percent deduction for the internet being down. I understand that people on business trips need the internet, so I am not referring to them. What I don’t understand is this guy was staying there on his way to port off on a cruise. Look out Carnival, you will get a complaint because there is no internet in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Hide the comment cards. I can’t believe this guy can’t give up the internet for one night and enjoy the beautiful Cocoa beach.

To get to the point, I can’t believe people today, the internet, and travel. These people go miles away from their home and rate the hotel bad because there is a brief internet outage. I am just the opposite. Take the internet out of the hotel, then I don’t even risk wasting my time on it. I guess I am no longer the majority.
