I don’t think I’ve ever stayed, outside resorts where a convention was in progress, anywhere connection was billed by the hour.

Convention centers are of course notorious for pulling stuff like this.

There are hotels that bill by the day. I stayed at the Hilton in downtown Houston on a Friday night when my girl friend and I picked up a friend of hers who was flying in from Europe. The Hilton hotel rooms did not come with free WiFi, although the lobby on the ground floor had free WiFi. I got a pretty good rate for the room on Priceline, because downtown Houston doesn't have much demand for hotels on the weekend. They do however, charge for the extra amenities al la carte. Parking in the garage that is across the street but connected by a sky walk is extra and so is WiFi in the room.
