Can't login with phone at hotel but I can with tablet, solved!


At a hotel in Jacksonville, FL for work and the free wifi is all fine and good.  I have a Nexus 7, a Windows laptop, and an Android phone.  The tablet and computer get on the wifi no problem but had problems with the phone.  You have to go to a login page and enter the hotels passcode before you can get on their wifi.  For some reason on my phone I kept getting a redirect page that kept refreshing in some kind of loop but never got to the page where I could put the passcode in.  Finally after quite a bit of google searching I found the answer hidden in the comments of some android forum.  Open an incognito window in chrome and try again.  It took me straight to the login page no problem.  Why?  Don't know, don't care, but it worked.
