I was recently updating our review of the Hotel Henri IV , a super cheap sleep located on the Place

How would you react if, while traveling in Europe, you arrived in your hotel room, plopped down your bags, and tried to join the hotel's Wi-Fi network, only to find... (spinning, spinning).... hawaii inter island tours nothing?
It's incredible how something that was presented just a few years ago as a new amenity is now considered almost a right. (In fact, an Estonian tourism official recently told me that in her country free Wi-Fi is, in fact, considered a "human right.")
Rewind a decade or so, and the hotels I was inspecting hawaii inter island tours and reviewing in Europe were eagerly embracing the new Wi-Fi technology, especially as it represented a new revenue stream. Some charged by the hour, others by the day. But almost everyone, it seemed, charged. In the years since, as the cost of offering Wi-Fi has dropped hawaii inter island tours and online hotel bookings have become more competitive, I've noticed that many hotels offer the service for free to attract guests.
Many of the most popular listings in our Paris hotel guide, for example, offer free Wi-Fi, including the Tiquetonne , the Esmeralda (really only works in the lobby), Grand Hotel Jeanne d'Arc and even the super-duper zero-star hawaii inter island tours cheapo, the Hotel Rivoli .
I was recently updating our review of the Hotel Henri IV , a super cheap sleep located on the Place Dauphine at the tip of the Ile de la Cité in Paris. (Given its extraordinary location, doubles going for €60 are indeed considered "super cheap.")
When I visited the hotel last month, the friendly hawaii inter island tours receptionist reminded me that the rooms are rather basic, and don't have TVs. Fine. (This isn't actually that unusual for small hotels and pensions, as one room's blaring TV can echo down the hallway, disrupting the mood.)
Ah, right. I scribbled down the note and didn't think much more about it until I updated the review and made a point of calling this out. I took to Twitter, mentioning that, after all these years I'm still impressed by the hotel's low rates:
I certainly understand why we think it indispensable, especially when traveling abroad. We rely upon Wi-Fi to check email, find restaurants, search maps and fire up Skype to call loved ones. Not to mention keep up with work.
Do you think that Wi-Fi should be offered by all hotels? Would you stay at a hotel without a connection? Do you think this entire hawaii inter island tours conversation is foolish and that everyone needs to unwire themselves and get a life? Leave a comment below!
