What is/are the best website(s) for travel advice for developers that need to work on the road with a laptop in tow?
For instance, if I am traveling through Michigan, what sites or online communities give the best advice on hotels (rates, location, safety, work desk), Wi-Fi (open, fast, always up, cost) and other necessary business services (fax machine, meeting space, etc) whether I'm in Kalamazoo, Battle Creek, or New Buffalo. It's easier to find these things in big cities like Detroit, but I also want to know about smaller areas that have less frequent business travelers.
I don't care about hotel pools and luxuries. I care about whether I can get work done at a real desk in my room, if Wi-Fi is plentiful and uninterrupted, and that my laptop won't get stolen if I head out for a bit. In my case, at any given time I will be working on code remotely, attending a Skype tele-conference, and I need a decent desk or meeting room once and a while.
Problems I frequently run into are rooms without a real desk (ergonomics matter), Wi-Fi that blocks certain ports or slugs along like dial-up, or where business services are priced for corporate travelers with larger expense accounts.
So, I'm looking for a travel info source specifically for developers. Any suggestions?
