For many travelers, particularly those in business class, one of the best things about being on the road is the palatial digs. Marriotts and other mega hotels are brimming with delectable offers from plush pillows to steal-able soaps; but a common bummer across all these posh establishments is the Wi-Fi.

Even when you pay that extra fee upwards of $10 to connect in your room, the connection tends to be lackluster, but if you're opting for the ever-touted “free Wi-Fi” option, forget about it. You may as well just get back in your car and drive to the nearest Starbucks, because you'll probably have a strong signal there.

Hotel WiFi (News - Alert) Test, a company that specializes in collecting, analyzing and distributing data about Wi-Fi quality in hotels around the world, is looking to put an end to this problem. The firm is now offering a service that lets travelers get accurate information about the Wi-Fi quality in hotels. The goal is to not only to lead hotel guests toward the best Wi-Fi destination, but to motivate hotels to improve their Internet service.

Hotel WiFi Test's service is much like a generic Internet speed test, except all the test results are directly linked to the hotel Wi-Fi network to which the user is connected. The results are validated on the server side before being used in the cumulative hotel score and reports.

Anybody can look at the speed test results (whether they are staying in the hotel or not). Hotel management can also look in on the test results and tinker around to make improvements when they spot a lacking connection.

And of course, there's a social media aspect to Hotel WiFi Test. Users can connect with the service on Foursquare (News - Alert). Users receive a notification with info about Wi-Fi quality after checking into a hotel. Users are then invited to click to leave a comment about the hotel for both potential guests and the hotel management to consider.
