Free Hotel WiFi Even Goes as Far as Hotel Cars in Vietnam
Hey hotels who haven't yet provided guests with free WiFi: this hotel in Vietnam has cars that are better than you. It's the Caravelle Hotel in Ho Chi Minh City and not only does it offer some really good (under $200) deals for stays including free breakfast buffets and airport rides, but it also boasts free WiFi throughout the property. And in case you need the bandwidth to be increased for some reason, they can take care of that as well.
Since the complimentary internet has been so successful over the last two years, the hotel has extended free WiFI to their fleet of six cars, with "interchangeable Wi-Fi routers creat[ing] hotspots using 3G and HSPDA technology that enables download speeds of up to 7.2MB per unit." Excellent.
At first we thought that enabling cars with WiFi was a little overkill, but the hotel's manager explains the motivation in the press release: "with our hotspot connection in all hotel cars, you are online minutes after touching down. That’s especially handy in a city famed for its chaotic traffic." He's got a very valid point there. Hopefully this will server as motivation for some other hotels, around the world, to finally get their act together for free WiFi in their buildings alone.
