That (free Wi-Fi in hotels) has also been my experience for the price range you mention. In Europe, in the US and in Australia. However it also has been my experience that in the *higher* price range hotels - even if you get a 'bargain' - there's no free Wi-Fi and you pay extra and at high prices for everything (Wi-Fi, parking, etc.) and things like breakfast and bar have very high prices. So the 'middle' segment of the market suits us just fine.
