Wifi quality and socket placement are two things I find myself usually judging hotels on. Not that they're the most important qualities, but unlike most other qualities I care about, they're the main ones that some hotels completely overlook.
- lotsofpulp 4y agoThis is almost always related to how old the building is. Newer builds will be wired up with more access points, and even Ethernet outlets in the room. Few old hotel buildings will tear down walls to run Ethernet wire all over, even if just to install more access points. And if it is an old cinder block/concrete building, assume the worst. Most of the big brand hotels in Hyatt/Hilton/Marriott/IHG had to get decent wifi installed though, using specific commercial products like Meraki and Ruckus and are subject to signal strength / bandwidth testing. The weakness is still the puny requirements around how much up and down bandwidth the hotel brands require. They are still okay with non fiber 100Mbps down / 5Mbps up coaxial cable connections, which renders the rest of the equipment moot. But that may be because many or most hotels lack a fiber option period from the ISP.
