Client: 30-room Art Deco hotel in urban area
Challenge: Thick masonry walls blocked Wi-Fi in guest rooms. Wired retrofits were cost-prohibitive.
Solution: Deployed mesh Wi-Fi with Ethernet backhaul in common areas. Added 4G MiFi units for rooms with weakest signal.
Outcome:
Achieved 90% coverage improvement in guest reviews
Increased direct bookings by 22% after positive online ratings
Saved $15,000 vs. full wired upgrade
"Guests love the vintage decor, but expect modern tech," noted the manager. "This balanced solution preserved our aesthetic while meeting expectations."
