This is another survey I find hard to believe...

Surveys are used to make news more than anything...a cheap way to fill up a slow news day or to influence public opinion (Yes, Obama is really popular with the American people). But this is unreal.

Survey reveals hotel guests want Wi-Fi over everything else - USATODAY.com

A new Hotels.com survey reveals which amenities guests want the most.
What is your favorite hotel amenity?

Survey says: Free Wi-Fi.

OK, no surprise there, but according to a new Hotels.com survey, hotel guests would overwhelmingly take Wi-Fi over high-end coffee makers, an iPod dock, video game systems and workout equipment/DVDs. Over high-end coffee makers? That surprised me, but clearly I'm addicted to caffeine.

Many of the 415 guests polled reported that the availability of Wi-Fi factored into their decision on which hotel to book. More than one-third—38%--said free Wi-Fi was a must when staying at a hotel, 35% said it is the single amenity they want to see more of in hotels, and 31% said they want it to become a standard amenity at hotels this year...

...The survey revealed some more interesting tidbits:

23% of guests said their favorite modern in-room amenity was the use of iPads. • 45% reported that their favorite new amenities are happy hours, wine tastings or any other activities involving free food and drinks.

31% of travelers want complimentary bottled water in their hotel rooms (34% of female travelers
and 24% of male travelers)...

Some other stuff made the list but if someone really had to give up coffee for wi-fi I think that would last until the first caffeine headache.
