Effective from February 2nd, 2015 Starwood will provide free Wi-Fi to guests that stay in their hotels including Sheraton, W, Westin, Le Meridien and Aloft.
However there are two conditions:
– You must be SPG member(Free sign up here)
– You must book through Starwood website not third party sites (Eg, Agoda, expedia etc)
You can access the Free Internet policy here:

If you already SPG Gold or Platinum member you will automatic upgrade to high-speed Internet. Other SPG members can only enjoy “low” speed internet but I guess that should be enough for checking Facebook and E-mail during your stay.
My Conclusion
Hotel Chain like Starwood, IHG and Marriott are trying to get more guests to book through their official website which to help them save commission if customers are booking through third party sites.
Terms and Conditions
Complimentary Internet Access. Beginning February 2, 2015, an SPG Member that books a Stay through a Starwood Website or an SPG App will receive: (i) complimentary standard in-room Internet access during the Stay if he/she is not a Gold Preferred Guest or a Platinum Preferred Guest at least 24 hours prior to the Stay; or (ii) complimentary premium in-room Internet access during the Stay if he/she is a Gold Preferred Guest or a Platinum Preferred Guest at least 24 hours prior to the Stay (“Internet Access Benefit”).
A “Starwood Website” is a website operated by or on behalf of Starwood or an SPG Participating Hotel which are currently starwoodhotels.com, spg.com, stregis.com, theluxurycollection.com, whotels.com, lemeridien.com, fourpoints.com, aloft.com, element.com, sheraton.com, and westin.com.

The Internet Access Benefit is limited to one room per eligible SPG Member per Stay regardless of how many rooms have been reserved.
No incremental benefit will be provided at SPG Participating Hotels that offer complimentary in-room Internet access to all guests.
