I barely read the daily paper.

In that case, I hope you don't vote, either.

Wouldn't it be better to have facts before voting?

Fat chance.

We *give* the local newspaper away to every guest at our hotel. In
fact, we deliver it to their suite, along with breakfast each morning.
All they have to do is check the little box labeled "Yes" on their
breakfast order form.

While the majority of guests do still want the paper, it's truly
disheartening how many people check the "No" box. I'm always hopeful
that these are the folks who never make it to the polls.

Then again, they may be people on vacation who want to get away from politics
and other woes of the world. Just because I'm not interested in the actions of
Congress one week out of the year doesn't make me a bad citizen. I'm not
required to keep my TV on CNN or Fox News 24 hours a day, am I?

Also, I've usually got little interest in the local newspapers when I'm
traveling. Why should I be interested in scandals involving a city council
2,000 miles from home? Why should the scores of the local high school
basketball teams interest me? I've rarely stayed in hotels that offer free
local newspapers; most give out either McPaper (USA Today) or the Wall Street
Journal.

I will usually read USA Today ( all the news that's fit to color )
because I've read it enough to have a idea of it's slant. I generally
don't read national news in a local paper because I don't have enough
data to know what's BS and what's not. I also get the majority on my
news online. The paper is good for the intellectual section ( comics )

I ALWAYS look for a hotel that has high speed internet (not always available
in some of the backwater places I go to), and with my laptop and a load of
bookmarked URL's I have good data, not the MSM trash.

Yep, and thanks to this group, we were the very first hotel in Iowa
City to have free high speed wireless internet, throughout the hotel.

For the first couple of years, it was seldom used. Now, EVERYONE uses
it.

What are your policies on use of the WiFi, such things as
restricted websites, or use of a software firewall or other
security measures by the user and your server? Can
transients and guests of guests log in, do you require
passwords and do you hide the SSID, etc.?

Interesting. A pet peeve of mine about traveling is that every hotel
gives out the McPaper. My first act in any city is to make a bee-line
for the local newspaper rack, because I *do* care about what's going on
in the city I'm visiting. (And I DON'T care what's going on in
Wyoming, for instance...unless I'm in Cheyenne.)

The local paper is what provides one with a true measure of a city's
flavor -- which is why we are the ONLY hotel (that I know of) that
gives away the LOCAL newspaper.

In case you haven't noticed, everything in our place is in response to
pet peeves. With nothing else to go one, when we opened we simply made
a list of things we HATE in hotels, and eliminated them in ours, one by
one.

The USA Today was at the top of my list, along with flow-restrictors in
shower heads, and continental breakfasts served in the lobby.

Yes, and that's a good thing. But judging guests based on their desire
for the local paper is not.
