I am staying at an Embassy Suite "resort". There is indeed wireless high speed, as $10/24 hours, but several posts have been eaten by the lame wireless interface. Upon hitting "save", the hapless post is sometimes sent into some odd interface. Hitting the back key results in the post being gone forever. Clicking over to the next tab also sometimes starts the interface engine, or whatever it is called.
I am grumpy.
How can we do without the net these days. I take my Centrino laptop with me when I travel in hopes of finding a wireless connection. The railway has it now so I'm happy! tom

One of the best things about WiFi is how easy it's been for hotels to install (vs wiring all rooms for Ethernet). OTOH, yeah, there's plenty of crappy wireless portals in these places.
Best advice if you're toting your own notebook is to look into a blog client, so you can compose on your own PC and, if the Net connection craps out on you, you can still repost it. It's saved my butt a dozen times over.
If you're using TypePad, I'd recommend SharpMT (www.randyrants.com/sharpmt), which I use for my blog posting. Good stuff, and easier to use than the on-line forms.
