For anyone staying at CSR in the near future, you may experience Wi-Fi issues if your computer is running Windows Vista.
We just got back from a week long stay, and could never get the WI-Fi to work correctly, even though we could pick it up on our iphones. Finally I found out that if the operating system is Vista, it "has some bugs" and they are trying to work that out now. My alterate solution was to use the Ethernet cable they had hanging there for a "hard connect". This used to cost $9.95 per day before WiFi was started, but they did not charge us. Housekeeping is actually starting to remove these from the rooms (we returned one day to find the one we were using was gone and had to ask them to return it) so if you have Vista, ask upon arrival if the problem is fixed. You may want to carry your own Ethernet cable with you just in case they don't have them anymore. Just ask them not to charge you for its use.
