About these rankings
Each ranking measures an amenity's mention rate — the share of a chain's Google reviews that bring the amenity up — extracted by WashIndex's structured LLM pipeline. It's a presence-and-prominence proxy: strong evidence a chain offers and promotes the feature, but not an operator-confirmed inventory. Confirm a specific location before relying on it.
