I find it depends where you're at in the hotel. The last 2 times we were here, I had to bring an airport express with me, because the wifi network sucked my will to live. This time, I'm finding I don't need it, and wifi is fine (I too have a mac). As with those last 2 times, folks in different parts of the hotel had different experiences. It would seem that this time might be no different.
