Not to mention that it gives an easy way for those of us with status access to a higher tier/priority of internet which is handy for streaming. Particularly when I'm staying in a hotel for over 60 nights a year.
True. Although I mostly have a library on my device anyway because WiFi quality is still often a crapshoot. (And I want downloads for the plane anyway.)

This is common with a lot of chains these days. Free WiFi is a carrot to get you to book through their site so they save agent fees.
