Guest WiFi is no longer an optional amenity. It is the backbone of the guest experience and one of the most important hotel standards in hospitality ratings. Whether they are business travelers, families streaming Netflix, or guests using smart devices — WiFi determines whether a stay feels modern and comfortable.
