Depending on where you are staying, most hotels have high speed internet access in your hotel room.
All you do is turn off your laptop, plug in from the wall to your ethernet port and turn on your computer. Open up Interet Explorer (Netcape as well) and you will be prompted with a message advising you of the charges and if you accept them. Usually you are billed in either 12 or 24 hour increments ranging from $5.95 a day to $12.99 a day, depending on the hotel and where you are staying.
Hope this helps.
