Third time's the charm
The hotel advertises broadband internet in all rooms.
The first room has no ethernet jack.
The second room has a jack, but it doesn’t work. (We need to call the 800 tech support number to confirm this. The phone is on the opposite side of the room from the ethernet jack.)
The third room is a smoking room… but the ethernet jack works. (And I now have an Airport Express plugged in to it, so anyone within a few hundred feet can share.)
And I’m still on Eastern Time, thank you. I’m not naming the hotel because the graveyard shift desk clerk was willing to move us twice in search of working internet.
