This is because The Holiday Inn expect me to pay an extortionate amount of money to access their wifi connection. The prices are as follows:
1 hour - £5
24 hours - £16
If I wanted Internet for the duration of my stay (6 days) - £70
Now this may or may not seem reasonable to you. I would have thought they same, only I'm spending time during my stay with a gentleman who used to work for Sky Business. He was someone who would have dealt with businesses such as the Holiday Inn. He informs me that should an establishment take out a commercial Sky package ( I can confirm that they have Sky. I watched Sky News this morning whilst eating my breakfast ), they also get wifi....wait for it...completely free of charge! So on top of the overpriced rooms, that are drab at best, they make pure profit from any poor fool who pays to connect to their wifi hotspot.
To top it off, this is the view from my room....
