Internet access at Marriott Rive Gauche

I have tryed to find an e-mail address for this hotel to ask how much they charge for Internet access, but their page has only phone number, not e-mail.
Can some one provide this info? My daughter has decided she HAS to take her laptop because she has homework to do during our trip...

Thanks for yout help!

The home page of the Marriott Rive Gauche clearly says that they have wired/wireless Internet access in the guest rooms, public areas, and meeting rooms.

It would seem that you'll need to call them, since they don't provide an email address on their website. If it's too expensive, there are a number of cafes that will provide an hour's use with a purchase, or she can sit in a public area and use the free Paris Wi-Fi...

You can get the e-mail address by calling 1-800-MARRIOTT and asking them.

Thanks for all your responses. I couldn’t catch them before we go so we decided to take the laptop anyway and found out at arrival.
The lap top was useful for downloading pictures and for my daughter to write every night a recount of her day; however we didn't pay the 20 euros a day the hotel charges for Internet.
For communication we used the roaming service of our phone company (only for texting my husband so he can call when we were at the hotel) and my daughter used a pen drive to carry with her "letters" so we can stop at any Internet Cafe and for 1 euro she had enough time to send and check her mail.
At the end I realize it was better not to have Internet in the room, we had very full days and our internal clock didn't adjusted. We were very alert at night and had problems to get up early so it was better not to have the Internet in the room when we get to the hotel at night.

However, for those of you more knowledgeable in the computer world, there is plenty of free wife in Paris, we had a park two blocks from our hotel and we saw plenty of spots during our visit; we also got plenty of wireless connections from our room, one of them very strong "free public" unsecured signal, but apparently you have to do some adjustment to your setting to get those signals... I was connected or that said my computer, but I could not navigate; in a mysterious way, the second day at the hotel we could only see one wireless connection available, we supposed it was the hotel's and it was secured.

This has happened to us in different cities, so I will post this in a separate post to see if someone can help me with these connection problems for a future trip.

Thanks for your answers!
