The column: What makes a good hotel room?

Many hotels are working harder than ever for your business these days, and today's Winging It column looks at my criteria for a good hotel room. This is a topic I covered a couple of years ago in a column that brought many good suggestios from readers. Already this morning, six messages from readers have come in with additional thoughts, and three of them are in  comments at the end of the online version of the column, found here. Others came as e-mails to me and I will share them with you later today.

    Internet access, whether wireless or hard-line, should be free in the room; paying $10 per day is akin to airline ala-carte pricing. Complimentary breakfasts are so-so with me. Sometimes it comes with the package that my company negotiates with the hotel, but it's not a necessary to me. Decent TV service and decent TVs...older tube televisions date the hotel room, especially when everything is in HD these days.
