Default Traveler's Resource - Hotels with Best TVs, etc

I am a road warrior and travel about 50% of the time. When I stay in a hotel, I try to find one with the largest flat panel, best internet access, media access devies in the rooms, etc. If you have a favorite hotel or have any travel tips for those of us who like to remain connected to our movie content, please post it here.

When I travel I bring my slim lite PS3 and a handful of Blu-rays. I also stream netflix and Vudu movies with the PS3. I bring the PS3 because it has a web browser which is necessary to connect the player to the hotel's internet. I've experimented with bringing a Roku or AppleTV, but without a web browser interface, its impossible to enter the required password and the device won't connect to the hotel's internet.

Crown Plaza - Near Reliant Stadium (Houston, Texas)

PROS:
42" newish LG Plasma TVs!
The TVs are NOT bolted to the wall, so I move them closer to the bed.
Average wifi speed
convenient access to nearby highways
Full mini kitchen and mini-fridge has freezer compartment
~$100-$110 per night


Cons:
No LAN access, wifi only
air conditioning is average/rooms can get hot in the summer
TV doesn't have OEM remote, so you have to switch HDMI inputs manually


Another good hotel is in San Antonio - Hotel Indigo (San Antonio-Riverwalk)
PROs:
42" LCD TV with OEM remote


***Holiday Inn Express - HOUSTON SPACE CENTER-Clear Lake**
37" LCD
DirecTV interface in the room
an actual HDMI cable going into the TV, with HD content! This is a first for me, as it is usually a coax cable sending an SD signal to the HDTV
$50 gift card for every night reserved!!! I will get $150 in gift cards for my 3 night stay!
Great location: within sight of many restaurants, directly adjacent to Baybrook Mall, 25 miles to Galveston, etc...

I will add to this list later
