What Airports, Hotels & Places Offer Free Wi-Fi?

I am trying to fly home to South Florida from Pittsburgh. My flight is delayed due to weather in Atlanta, where I have a connecting flight. But Pittsburgh International Airport has free Wi-Fi, which is making this long delay productive.

Free Wi-Fi is important, and if I have a choice between two airports in a region, I will book the cheapest flights in airports with free Wi-Fi. I am assembling a list: Which airports, hotels, cafes and stores have free Wi-Fi? Please leave a comment, with your travel experiences.

I will also make constant updates.

Aiports:
Pittsburgh International Airport (If you have to be stuck in an airport, this one is great!)
Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport

Hotels:
Hampton Inn
La Quinta
Inns & Suites

Malls & Stores
Shops of the Sunset (Coral Gables, Florida)
Whole Foods
Barnes & Nobles

Restaurants
Dunkin Donuts 41st Street on Miami Beach

I live in Pittsburgh, and am so happy they have free wifi. It is becoming harder and harder to find these days, especially in airports.

A good one for road travel, at least on the eastern seaboard, is Panera Bread. There are usually signs on the highway to let you which exit to take, and they tend to be near larger plazas where you can pick up other things you may need before you hit the hotel or campground. The speed of their free wi-fi has also been consistently good, at least where I've used it.

Here's a website that lists airports with free wifi: http://www.wififreespot.com/airport.html

In terms of hotels you can add Baymont Inn and Suites to the list.

Great post. It's always a pain showing up at the hotel, finding out you have to pay $20 a day for wi-fi.

Here is a neat directory I found that lists hotels with free wi-fi.
