-* Internet.  They all claim to have high speed internet in the rooms, and the newer facilities actually do, via wired Ethernet.  Older facilities have wireless that often is slow, intermittent, and unreliable.  Either way, it costs 9.95 per day.  You simply plug in the Ethernet cable, or use a computer with wifi, and start it up.  Open the browser and try to connect with any web site.  A sign-up page will come up.  Some Embassy Suites have wifi in the lobby and meeting rooms, too.  If the wireless is too slow/intermittent, call tech support and insist that they increase the bandwidth to your room.
