Getting the best hotel room includes many perks: a free minibar (if you're lucky!), cable with all local channels, and, of course, that glorious free Wi-Fi connection we all rejoice over. However, that free Wi-Fi access can sometimes come with unexpected baggage – from annoying slow speeds to potentially massive security risks.
