The wireless is horrible. It depends on how many are online and what floor you are on. I got fed up and just went out and bought a wireless card for my laptop. I was just there this weekend for a refresher and there is no longer a pilot discount on food, so plan on $9-15 per meal. If you can drive, bring a car. Study hard and you'll do fine. Good luck.

Yeah the wireless is pretty horrible in the hotel. It worked for me about half the time and if it did work, I was getting a very low signal. The rooms are your typical sized hotel room and the only complaint I had with the place is that it was moldy. That hotel needs some serious work with it's mold problem. The food discount is true that they got away with that. We were there the last week and they cut it on us.

Yeah you can count on about 11mbps wireless. But you will get great speed in the lobby...Also, since PK is not there hogin up the bandwidth searching hot-fa's.com, you might get some signal....The food @ goodeats is not bad by my opinion. I like to eat, the portions were big AND tasty.(great salsa too)..Once you get to know the staff they will take good care of you.( be nice to Ruby).
Have fun.
