I stay at a Courtyard Marriot whenever I'm in Chicago area for work.
Mainly because of the broadband access they provide via these STSN boxes.  
I've only ever used the ethernet connection on the box.  You just plug
in and get and address via dhcp.  At one point they were only charging
for web surfing (port 80 only).  SSH, HTTPS and presumably other
ports were open.  They appear to have wised up since then though :(

Worked great with Linux.

The STSN website has a broadband hotel finder.  Cool.
