Free High-Speed Internet. Available for free in ALL areas of the Alexis Park Inn Suites, our wireless 802.11g network (backwards compatible with earlier 802.11b systems) accesses a dual cable modem/DSL line system, providing the ultimate in internet reliability and speed. Whether you're at poolside, or in your bedroom, you can be surfing the internet at 56 kilobytes per second! Laptop cards and USB access cards are available at the front desk to use, free of charge. When we first opened In 2002, everyone told me wireless internet access is the future -- so I installed a rudimentary wireless router, running 802.11b at 11 kilobytes per second off of an incredibly unreliable cable modem. This made us the first hotel in Iowa City to offer free high-speed wireless internet access to all guests -- yet for the first year, practically NO ONE used it, except staff members and the occasional long-term guest. For a while it seemed as if we had gone to great effort to provide a service that no one wanted... Starting in the middle of 2003, however, I noticed a dramatic change. First it was our Asian guests who pulled out their palm-tops, and instantly connected to our network without saying a word. Amazed at their technology (their computers had wi-fi capability built-in, while ours required add-ons), I recognized that a sea-change was taking place in the internet and lodging world. Soon, EVERYONE was asking how to connect, as more and more people purchased lap tops and palm-pilots with built-in Wi-Fi capabilities. So, in early 2004, I upgraded the system to the newer (and faster) 802.11g standard. And in June of 2004, we added a separate DSL line, providing redundancy with our cable system. Now, no matter WHAT happens, we have wireless internet access for you, our valued guest -- free! Did you know that the Iowa City Airport -- right next to the Inn -- was the site of the very first transcontinental airmail flight?
