Best Hotel WiFi Spot: W San Francisco

April 25, 2007 at 9:32 AM | 0 Comments

These days everyone is looking for four bar, non-complicated, hotel WiFi when they check in. Sure there are a bunch of hotel WiFi lists out there, but they are quickly out of date and unreliable.  This week, as a lead up to our popular annual hotel WiFi report, we will let you know our favorite WiFi hotels in five hot travel destinations. The rules are simple. The signal has to fast, and reliable, the cost should be free (at the very least free for guests) and the WiFi experience at these hotels offer a comfortable surfing environment. Have a city or destination you want us to investigate? Let us know. And if you have a favorite WiFi hotel you are willing to share, no matter where it is send it our way.

W Hotel :: San  Francisco, CA

We've said it before and we'll say it again. The W San Francisco gave us one of the best hotel WiFi experiences we've had in this city by the bay. Don't get us wrong. San Fran's seemingly thousands of hotels do a pretty good job of offering guests free and working internet access. However, there's always some sort of catch.

The Hotel Adagio had free wifi but the lobby was incredibly small. Personality Hotels also has it but when we tried to take our laptops into the Hotel Diva lounges and the lobby, it wouldn't work so well. Even the city's green hotel, Orchard Garden Hotel, has free WiFi but again, no place outside your room to use it.

Best Part:
Aside from getting free WiFi in a W hotel, which like never happens, we love the laid-back, spacious (it's got two levels) and quiet lobby with couches and available outlets. So we can get some work done before heading off to the excellent tapas restaurant across the street, the Thirsty Bear. The hotel is also close to the MOMA but beware, the lobby does become sort of a hotspot at night so get your work done before night falls.
