You can actually cross over to the hospital and set up in the surgery waiting area or cafeteria ad use the wifi there. Both are open 24 hrs

Don't all HGI's have free wi-fi?

Don't know about that, but the TU Center did.

Yes, as a Hilton diamond member, that's basically the Garden Inn's draw: free wifi (and awesome King beds). Under this link, they list "Complimentary high-speed Internet"

Of all Hilton properties, I generally enjoy HGIs the best. And the walk to the arena is 1.5 miles downhill. It's not impossible.

Yes, but if you don't go to the hospital cafeteria you miss out on that good hospital food. Mmmmmmm...meatloaf!::uhoh::

In today's Parade magazine there's a cartoon with a doctor talking to his hospitalized patient who is eating dinner. The caption: "If you ever hope to improve your health, you've got to stop eating hospital food."

What's the deal with the 4:00 check-in time at the Hilton Garden?

Not sure what "what's the deal" means, but 3:00 or 4:00 is pretty standard.

Call them up and explain your situation. Worst case they'll check you in and check your luggage until you return after the semifinals.

Well, for a packaged deal that includes tickets to a 4:00 game, a 4:00 check-in is a little inconvenient.

Last year wifi was free at the hockey tournament but a pay per day extra at basketball. It will be interesting to see if we have to pay this year.

They do that so the maid service has time to clean rooms after the check-out. As noted, if you call ahead they will accommodate you.
