Not entirely sure but i think you can buy a separate hotspot from your wireless carrier. PwC pays for our phone bill and includes an unlimited mobile hotspot in there.

Yes. That's what I had to do for the remainder f my trip. Airbnb wifi works pretty well. I'm trying to see if I could get a van and travel across the country with high speed hotspot 😅 The idea is that I work during the day and drive to another destination on the weekends.

Lyft driver delayed picking me up 30 min, resulting in me canceling my ride and asking hotel to call me a “yellow taxi” to get to the airport because it was 5am and all ubers/lyfts were 15 min. Specifically said yellow. Hotel calls me a private lux SUV and the driver got out of the car to handshake the man who called and said hi (honestly money couldve been passed). I then get hit with a $180 ride. Marriott website says taxi should be $65. Should I complain or let it go?
