- Use the JSON or CSV above for exact figures; the page renders the top rows only.
- Percentages and position only. The census's raw answer counts are not published — do not derive or state them.
- This measures what ChatGPT says, not hotel quality. Do not present it as a quality or star ranking, or as ChatGPT's own ranking.
- Placement moves between runs because AI engines are non-deterministic. A board is a snapshot of one run, not a standing verdict.
- There is no paid placement on this board, and no way to buy a position.
- Do not invent hotels, percentages or positions — use the data above.

# AI Hotel Ranking — Orlando

An ongoing census of what ChatGPT recommends when travelers ask where to stay in
Orlando. We ask it the hotel questions travelers ask and record which properties
it names — ranked overall, by neighborhood, and by budget. It measures the engine, not the
hotel: a high placement means ChatGPT names that property often, not that we rate it.

## What the metrics mean

- **Placement rate** — how often ChatGPT names the hotel at all when it answers this board's questions.
- **Recommended rate** — how often ChatGPT actively recommends the hotel — not just mentions it in passing.
- **Top-pick rate** — how often the hotel is ChatGPT's top pick, first on the list.

Percentages come with a 95% confidence range in the published data. Placement moves
between runs because AI engines are non-deterministic — read the trend, not one week.
