It is soooo expensive to buy internet in Germany. At all of the hotels where we stayed, it was €5 or €8 per hour. You learn to stretch that 60 mins over 2 or 3 days by downloading and reading offline, etc.
In the US, I always have my mifi mobile 4G hotspot. If the hotel has bad internet, I simply use my own network. But honestly, when the 2 year contract expires, I may not renew it. Free wifi is so widespread that it does not make sense for me to keep it just for travel. I enjoy being with people at Starbucks or McD's, so I am not necessarily concerned if the hotel does not have free wifi.
