As a long time Marriott business traveler (I've stayed in this particular property for 50+ nights in the past year alone), I was disgusted and saddened to see the direction Marriott is taking.
I use a Verizon mifi device to connect to the Internet...indeed, were I to not have such a device, I would be paying 12.00 a night for wifi access in addition to my 200.00 a night room.
Recently, Marriott submitted a petition to the FCC to make it legal for them to block person wifi devices. As such, I asked hilton and received a status match, and will never again stay at a Marriott property.
