Why this matters to an operator
The market figures are a benchmark, not a diagnosis. Compare recent cleanliness mentions by location and period; a local cluster is more useful than the market percentage when deciding where to investigate.
What to compare in your reviews
Start with recent cleanliness mentions in your own reviews. Compare positive and negative experiences by business and period before changing procedures.
- Filter recent reviews for cleanliness references.
- Compare positive and negative examples by business and period.
- Use local operating records before changing operations.
Confidence and limits
These figures describe unmatched platform samples, not every business in the market. Use them as context, then confirm any local concern with recent reviews and operating records.
- Google Maps and Tripadvisor may attract different reviewers and cover different sets of hotels.
- Reviews describe guest experiences; they do not establish what caused them.
- The pattern will not apply to every hotel in Miami.
- Positive and negative examples both appear, so compare both with your own reviews.

The broader coverage includes 81 Google Maps hotel records and 129 Tripadvisor hotel records, and businesses are not matched across providers.
