Seth Godin (evidently staying at the Intercontinental hotel in Toronto) decided to start a little contest tonight called “Find the Ethernet Jack.” If you don’t know who Seth Godin is, I suggest going and checking him out yourself because I don’t feel like typing a bio tonight.
Anyway, like I was saying, Seth started this little contest complete with a nice little photo from the hotel room. He never says the connection is actually in the room, so I’m going to go with my experience from the last few “nice” hotels I stayed in.
Drum roll please.
The Ethernet Jack is…”In the business center.”
The last Toronto hotel I stayed in was on Front Street. They told me they had high speed internet and I assumed it was available in each room. Nope. Business Center only, and the hours were from 8am to like 5 or 6pm.
In Vegas, they had dial-up only in the room. I figured all the hotels on the strip would be wired for speed. I really didn’t miss it so much in Vegas, we didn’t spend much time in the room.
New Orleans had high speed internet to the room, and all was good. Of course who knows what condition that hotel is in now.
There are two reasons I’m guessing “the business center.” The first reason is my bad experience getting high speed internet in hotel rooms, and the second is because everybody already took all the obvious answers.
Cheers.
I’ll sum it up with, “no comment”.
