The best thing about this hotel in Quebec

is that it has free WiFi, so I can access the Internet whenever I like!

I don’t know if this is the norm with hotels in Canada (I’ve only stayed in a few), but it is a real selling point for me, especially if I’m looking for a hotel to stage a business event in. It makes such a difference if there are no access rates (which seem to be standard in the UK and in Europe as far as I can tell).

Perhaps if more hotels stopped seeing WiFi or even normal wired Net connection as a source of income and simply an essential customer service (imagine if hotels were to charge you for putting the lights on or having a shower!), I think they would encourage more business.

Just my two pence …
