Marriott Resort, Marco Island, Florida

Many smaller hotel/motel chains offer free Internet connection.; but not
Marriott.

Can anyone tell me if there is free WiFi available near the Marco Island
Marriott? Marriott's prices to connect to the Internet almost amount to
extortion.

Thanks for any information.

wouldn't.

Perhaps you missed the key word - FREE

Should you use the mailblocks package and expect a response from me,
you should preauthorize the dissensoftware.com domain.

I very rarely bother responding to challenge/response systems,
especially those from irresponsible companies.

Hopefully someone more knowlegable than me will answer, but...

I was there a few months ago with a similar problem. All I could find was a
McDonalds, but that was too much trouble; so I just used dial up.

Not that I could find.

The package of high-speed Internet connectivity and free local and long distance
telephone usage is bundled at $9.95 per day at all Marriotts, isn't it? When
you're paying around $200 a day for a room, that doesn't seem extortionate.

It seems extortionate to me when Comfort Inn, and others, include free
Internet access in the price of their rooms.

I use my cell phone for local and long distance calls so no need to buy the
bundled package.

Well, actually, at $200 a day, charging extra for just about _anything_
seems extortionate.

the interent is free because there is competition among hotels at that
price. The higher end chains, marriott, hyatt, etc, are after a
different kind of traveler. A traveler to whom 10 bucks is relatively
nothing.

or write it off.....
