Choice Hotels names HIS a qualified vendor

Hotel Internet Services is now a qualified vendor for Choice Hotels International. HIS will provide Choice properties with the latest guestroom entertainment and technology, including its BeyondTV and BeyondTV GuestCast platforms.

Serving as a comprehensive in-room entertainment and guest-service platform, BeyondTV offers guests staying at a Choice property the ability to access an array of entertainment options such as free-to-guest services and the ability to cast personalized content from their own devices. Further helping to maximize in-room satisfaction is the ability for guests to use BeyondTV to locate hotel information or make amenity requests via TV screens. When integrated with Amazon's Alexa, guests can also interact by using voice commands, which can control in-room amenities like TVs, thermostats and lighting.

Choice properties will have the option of implementing BeyondTV GuestCast, a standalone casting platform that caters to today's guest preferences for personalized streaming content. Compatible with more than 1,000 mobile-based apps, the solution is designed to provide hoteliers with a seamless implementation and management process while ensuring ease of use for guests and providing complete protection over their privacy and personal data. With BeyondTV GuestCast, hotel guests are able to cast their own content from personal computers, iOS or Android-based devices.
