Otto's insight engine reads guest reviews and pulls out only what they say about wifi for actual work, not a “free wifi” checkbox.
Each hotel gets a 1–5 work-wifi score weighted toward recent stays, and is ranked only after 10+ reviews mention wifi, so the score reflects evidence, not vibes.
We surface speed vs. reliability, floor and area dead zones, recent infra upgrades, paid tiers, and a concrete workaround for each property.
A score of 3.0 means “reliable enough for video calls.” We call 3.5+ work-ready, 3.0–3.4 usually fine (with minor catches), and anything below 3.0 bring a hotspot.
