I work at a Hilton and I have heard so many complaints over the cost of Internet to customers. We even charge more than Travelodges! 'the very latest technology' - well free wifi should have been installed long ago! Hilton is losing it's place in the market rapidly as it is stuck in the last decade technology-wise!
