The more you pay for the room, the less likely the hotel is to provide
free WiFi.

Still, in some areas the chain motels are exceptionally crappy, poorly
located, and run down. I.e. in Reno, you can usually stay at a place
like the Grand Sierra (formerly the Hilton) for less than a place like
Quality Inn, La Quinta, etc., but there is no free wireless. I've been
in some nice La Quinta's, but not all of the franchises are very good.
