Happens in the US too (Score:1)

I have not stayed in a Motel 6 for quite a while even though the prices are reasonable and reason is a simple one: false advertising.

They advertised "high speed internet" in every room. When I got into my room, I found a phone jack only so I asked. I basically got the same response you did and promptly checked out with a full refund of my money. I see now that they have changed the wording to call it "data ports" instead of "high speed internet". I guess some people do learn.

  Yeah... it was really shameful... we chose that hotel precisely because it *had* internet access!
  
  Unfortunately, we only decided to check on that on our last day there :-( (after realizing there was no access at the conference either!!! :-| )
