Awesome fantastic room, great bed, fabulous, fabulous, fabulous! But THEIR internet SUCKED too. And you had to pay EXTRA for it!! And it was slower than Christmas, erratic, flickered and faltered. And no one knew what to do with it either. I think the Hilton ROCKS everywhere but digitally. THAT part of being 5 Star they don't have down yet. You'd think the managers, designers and whomever COULD figure it out...but nope. That's okay. I took lots of hot baths and showers, ate myself silly and lounged on the great bed and slept fantastically. I was annoyed, pissed as hell even, but the food and everything else MORE than made up for it..... Ah Megan, The Hilton in London where I stayed prior to TED was fabulous too!

If you're in a cheap motel, wireless works fine. If you're in a high-class joint (that just happens to have an expensive bar, three expensive restaurants, some expensive shops and a few expensive salons) the wireless doesn't work.<br><br>Call me paranoid.

Find out what the hotel's most important structural features are, and we'll go back after you leave and wrap them in C4 with a wireless detector, set to go off if they stop getting a signal.
