Yesterday we published Dave Weinberger's "Worst Hotel in America", so we figured you might want a frame of reference.  Recently, while staying at the Hyatt Regency Chesapeake Bay in Maryland for an I-Media conference, Mr. Weinberger had this to say about the property:

I was in a beautiful resort hotel last night. I was giving a talk - a scheduled rant, if you prefer - to marketers at the I-Media conference held in a Hyatt Regency that offers golf, swimming, tennis, spas and vintage Cuban cigars hand-rolled by reprobates with obscure claims to royalty. If you didn't know you were in Cambridge, Maryland, you might believe you had drifted to the Carribean.

Weinberger goes on to say the following:

Lovely hotel. Lovely people. Lovely landscape. But I won't be going back until they fix a problem that ruined it for me: No high bandwidth connectitivity. You couldn't even pay extra for it. Nope, it's dial-up all the way, baby. What do we learn from this? First, that I have become a complete brat when it comes to Internet access. Second, that the Hyatt Regency is mistaken if it thinks that because it's a resort, it doesn't need to offer broadband in the bedroom; it's not just for Net geeks any more. Third, that with my particular pathology I can no longer tell the difference between relaxing and being bored.

Looks like a very nice Maryland hotel, but it earns low marks for having antiquated communications methods.
