Yeah
My mistake, cooldog answered my question about cost of the room, with an answer about cost of internet and wifi.
Empire Chain of hotels provides in-room internet WIFI access for extra cost. I remember about 120HKD per day, or 40HKD per hour.
There are indeed MUCH more affordable places than Empire.
Best way to get discreet private wifi is to sign up for PCCW, or luck out on one of the increasing number of venues providing free wifi - the government has a scheme (I even saw signs for it in Victoria Park) - Harbour City provides free wifi (so just sit in any Pacific Coffee or Starbucks there) - and others.
