One trick for getting free Internet at any hotel is to call any other room—perhaps the one across the hall—posing as room service. If the hotel uses caller ID, just use the house phone in the lobby. Tell the party answering the phone that her two burgers are on the way. When the guest says she didn’t place an order, you politely ask for her surname to fix the error. Now you have both the room number (you called it) and the surname, which is all that’s needed to authenticate you (a nonpaying guest) as a legitimate guest at that hotel.
