I just thought I'd throw this up on the list.  If anyone plans on taking a
trip someplace and booking a room at country inn & suites... don't do it
for the internet connection.  ( I tried to get a room at a couple other
hotels, but this place was the only one that had vacancies in the area. ) 
I was glad to see that there was ethernet in the room when I got here, and
even happier that the office had ethernet cables at the front desk for
people who forgot to bring thier own ( I feel like such a rookie )  What I
haven't been enjoying is having to login through their website every 24
hours to reactivate the ability for my room to hit the internet ( I only
had to do this once at a hyatt regency )  Also  the hotels "high speed"
internet access provided by GlobalNet literally flies at the super sonic
speed of slow.  It takes a good 15 seconds for a page to load and I
started a download of a pdf catalog and was getting a mind blowing 2.5kbps
for speed.   But best of all, ( the straw that boke the camels back and
made me write this )  I decided to hit slashdot to check up on things, and
was redirected to the country inn website with a page that said the site
was unavailable.  I tried opening a new browser session.. same thing.  I
thought  maybe the page was really down, so I logged into my home computer
and tried to fire it up... resolved perfectly...  bastards.. Thank god I
leave tomorrow morning.
