One thing I can never understand is their Internet access policy. I was in Washington DC 2 nights ago staying at one of the upper end Marriott&#8217;s (around $300 a night) I turned on my iPod to see if I could get on the Internet to check my mail. To my surprise the Internet cost was I believe $14.95 for a 24 hour period. What I have failed to understand is why is it when staying at say a Courtyard Marriott or a Residence Inn Marriott that the Internet is free, and the room is like $80 to $90 a night. But when I stay at the high end Marriott&#8217;s (Like JW Marriott in Washington DC, or London Park Lane in London, England) that they always charge for Internet access. It was nice to see that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marriott.com\/hotels\/travel\/waswe-washington-marriott\/\">Washington Marriott<\/a> did havt LG HDTV&#8217;s in the room with actual HD TV service, but it would have been nice if the wireless Internet was free as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I spend a lot of my time away from home in Marriott Hotels around the world.
