Just as a personal comment, for anyone who is taking score, I like neat
new technology, but I also appreciate good service at good facilities,
and am willing to pay for it.  If I'm passing through a city on my way
to somewhere else, and just a place to crash, a Motel 6 ot a cardboard
box will do just fine.  If I'm going to exist someplace for a while, I'm 
happy to pay extra (although sometimes grudgingly :-) for better quality 
and superior service.  But that's just me (comfort alert! :-).
