    Depends maybe on the hotspot not just your notebook. Go to network connections on your laptop and click on properties for your wireless card and look at the connect settings, also and make sure auto negotiation for the connection is on.

    It could be the settings the hotspots "owner" has set upon it. You could try to "repair" or reconnect the connection to see if it possibly connects to a bit faster of a connection. Usually not, but sometimes WLAN cards get a bit..."buggy". Hehe

    The quality of the WiFi signal translates to wireless connection speed. While roaming public WiFi hotspots I saw this phenomena many times being on the edge of the signal. What's the report signal level?

    Specially when there are a lot of WiFi hotspots in the same area, sharing the same channel - connection speed can be degraded seriously even when close to the hotspot.
