Joined Sep 26, Messages 4, So I'm currently staying at a Best Western hotel that offers free wireless internet access. I have been here since Tuesday and up to now, both laptops have been connecting just fine to the wireless connection. However, today when I simply swapped the laptops' physical location my girlfriend wanted to use hers on the desk rather than the coffee table, which is about 2 feet away I suddenly got a "Limited or no connectivity" error on one of the laptops and I can't access the internet with that one.
The other laptop held its connection and still works fine. I tried moving the laptops back around in case it was some weird wireless interference issue but the same thing is occurring. For whatever reason, it is stopped at "Acquiring network address" whenever I try to reconnect to the wireless network. I keep getting a private I've tried talking to the buffoons that work here but they don't have a clue. Any ideas? This is really pissing me off since it was working totally fine until I simply tried to physically move the laptops I didn't even turn them off while moving them.

If that doesnt work, you can always make the laptop that gets the connection to share it with the other comp.

Should work like a charm. On the left side of the resulting window, click on 'change the order of preferred networks' in the 'preferred networks' box, click on the profile for best western click 'remove' profit.
The first three properties list free internet, while that benefit is notably absent from the Comfort Inn St. The big takeaway? Always check the policy at the property where you plan to stay. Brands with free WiFi: Hilton Honors is among the stingiest when it comes to properties that offer standard free internet; only Hampton Inn, Home2 Suites, and their new Canopy brand include this for all guests.
Gold status usually requires 20 stays, 40 nights, or 75, base points in a calendar year, but you can also get automatic Gold status through the Citi Hilton Reserve card or the Hilton Honors Surpass Card from American Express.
All guests at Hyatt Place and Hyatt House locations enjoy complimentary internet. Elite benefits: Platinum and Diamond Gold Passport members receive complimentary internet at all other Hyatt brands. The benefits do indicate that hotels have a choice of offering WiFi or wired access, but I have generally found that WiFi is the default with some properties offering both.
You can earn Platinum status with as few as 5 stays or 15 nights , but Platinum is also a standard benefit of the Chase Hyatt Credit Card. In addition, as of July , all IHG Rewards members now receive complimentary internet access at all properties worldwide.
Elite benefits: Complimentary internet access used to be a benefit for Gold Elite and Platinum Elite members, but that has gone out the window now that all members of the IHG Rewards program get free internet. Brands with free WiFi: Starwood Preferred Guest is another program with a small number of hotels that provide free WiFi for all guests. Only Aloft and Element locations include internet as a standard amenity. Elite benefits: Top-tier Platinum members are able to access the internet for free at all other Starwood locations, including St.
Regis, W, Westin, and Sheraton properties. This requires 25 stays or 50 nights per calendar year, though SPG did just introduce lifetime status as part of their program overhaul a couple of years ago. SPG Gold members also have the option to select internet access as their gold amenity at check-in. Unfortunately, this excludes Wyndham and Wyndham Grand properties, which are at the luxury end of the spectrum.
However, some of these hotels like the Wyndham Chicago Riverfront pictured above do include free internet. Instead, you earn Gold Status Points for every 20 qualifying nights, and those can then be used toward free stays in conjunction with or instead of your regular Wyndham Rewards points. Fortunately, there are other ways to gain complimentary internet access in addition to the methods above.
In no particular order:. There are exceptions to every rule, so knowing the published benefits of each program and brand is half the battle. Regardless of where these chains stand right now, however, the pendulum is slowly swinging toward more and more properties providing complimentary WiFi, and I certainly think this trend will continue.
Find out more! A lot of services available for a unique stay. The Best Western Hotel President makes available in every room and area of the hotel a free Wi-Fi connection for its guests. With this service our guests will be able to be always connected and to share their experience in Rome at anytime. Our Reception will be happy to give you more information about our Wi-Fi.
