As always: "it depends". Best you go through all the possibilities that you have with Meraki-Splash-pages and pick the one that fits your need. Here are some documents to start:

Hi Karstenl ,

Thanks for the reply .I will check all the possibilities  but it would be very helpful if you suggest as a best Practice which one is used widely in hotel industries for Guest access

I do not think that there are general best practices. But there are different goals that a hotel could have. Some want to make money with the WLAN, some want to provide best guest experience. As a traveler, I of course prefer the second goal.

If your local rights allow this, I would go for the "click through" splash page. The guest has to accept an "acceptable use policy" and is connected to the internet. That is very convenient for the guest.

Ok, there is more than the splash-page.

• Make sure that a single user can not saturate your internet-link. Could be done by a per-client bandwidth limit.
• Make sure that bulk traffic like online-backup is shaped to a reasonable amount.
• Filter traffic to the internet that can be harmful to others. I generally do not allow guests tcp/25 and snmp. Also think about L7 filters for things like P2P applications.
• Configure Layer 2 LAN isolation so that one guest can not attack another. This is automatically done if you use Meraki DHCP.
