I agree. I use Panera frequently when traveling. I even have Panera POIs
in my Garmin GPS so I can easily locate the nearest one.

Most mid-priced hotels can also be accessed from their parking lots. Many
of them have open networks.

I dropped my $50 VZW data plan for that reason. It's easier for me to
check and work with email with my notebook PC than with that small phone
screen.
