« Cheap Hotels: Using Coupons   Websites offering Cheap Hotel Rates and how they work »

by Chris Linch

I am just amazed that ten years ago you would have never heard any complaints regarding a hotel like this. The staff was extremely rude when I questioned them about the internet being down for four hours, which is the reason I booked the hotel. I am just amazed that this would be THE reason people 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.

So this review just comes in from this guy who stayed in Cocoa Beach Florida. The hotel he stayed at is a beautiful 4 star property connected to a surf store. I have been there several times. He rated it a twenty percent because the internet was down. Let me first tell you what he found good about the hotel. “The restaurant was excellent, the price was great and the room was large. I really liked that I could park on the same floor as my room, and the security system helped.” The only bad point this chump mentioned was that the internet was down.

If this is a reason to take points away from a hotel then I am a little disturbed. Now I understand people who are on business need the internet, so dont take this wrong. What I dont understand is these people were going on a cruise. If you are going on a cruise give up the internet for a night. I wonder if they will rate the cruise bad because they couldnt get internet in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.

I guess my point is the internet and travel are almost scary. People travel miles away from home and they have to have the internet or the hotel is no good. I am just the opposite. I like the hotel not to have internet so I can enjoy my time there without wasting it doing internet things. Maybe I am becoming the minority.
