I'm looking at hotels in Chester, and one I've been looking at has this message proudly displayed on their home page. However what "free internet access" actually means is going to reception to get a cable and plugging it in - not a lot of use for a lot of devices these days. If you want WiFi access you have to pay £10 per 24 hours. To me that's misleading since I'm pretty sure when most people read "internet access" they assume it's WiFi.

Not really. In my view there is a clear different between saying "free internet access" and saying "free wifi".

"Free internet access" could mean wifi, but not necessarily.
