When you’re traveling, hotel Wi-Fi might be your only source of connectivity, so when you wind up in a hotel and the internet crawwwwwls, it can be a major bummer.

Thanks to sites like SpeedSpot or Hotel Wi-Fi Test, you can avoid unfortunate internet conditions. If you’re traveling to a city, simply search for each of the hotels you’re searching for, and the test will give you the speed you can expect, as well as other details, like whether or not you have to pay for it.
