When - not if - the UK gets moved to A+, the shit will hit the fan...
There's no Wifi at PB - seems trivial, actually pretty important for people who need to work, communicate with family/friends/colleagues, or just get access to entertainment in their rooms.
The HK government isn't in the business of ramping down quarantine requirements, so assume once you're in A+, you're there for months.
You get SIM cards- pretty sure they give them out for free- for getting Internet access. So at least there are ways to get online.
Best Western and Ramada seem slightly more hellish.
