Yo fellow bloggers and wireless addicts (that’s me)! Just a 411 to spread the good word: wifi @ the Westin! Signal’s nice and strong in the lobby and on the second floor, where most of the conference rooms are located.

Having sat in the Sheraton lobby for a few hours last night, I much prefer the atmosphere of the Westin lobby. For one, it’s far less crowded. The decor is pleasantly neutral, and there are plenty of half-occupied leather couches and nicely upholstered chairs to spread out on. You can plug your laptop into one few outlets scattered throughout the floor. There’s even a faux fireplace to add to the place’s coziness.

Sometimes it pays to be nice. Thank you, nice concierge man!
