The Inn at Meadowbrook, a new independent boutique hotel near Kansas City, Kan., has installed Hotel Internet Services’ BeyondTV GuestCast in-room entertainment solution
The hotel’s leadership identified in-room entertainment as a priority in meeting the latest guest needs, and sought out a solution to provide guests with access to virtually any type of streamed content of preference. By adopting BeyondTV GuestCast, The Inn at Meadowbrook lets guests cast from thousands of mobile-based compatible apps like Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, Disney+ and ESPN. Guests can view their own content on guestroom television screens without having to enter in sensitive login information.
“Today’s guests are fully accustomed to being able to watch what they want, when they want, so providing such functionality using an advanced system such as BeyondTV GuestCast is increasingly vital to maintaining a competitive hotel business,” said Robert Leyva, general manager at the hotel. “We had researched several competing options; however, BeyondTV GuestCast ultimately prevailed due to the platform’s ease-of-use, flexibility and cost. Hotel Internet Services also ensured a swift and painless implementation from start to finish, and as a solution that is designed specifically for the needs of the hotel industry, we are fully confident that BeyondTV GuestCast will continue to meet the latest guest entertainment needs far into the future.”
In addition to sidestepping the need for guests to share username and password details, BeyondTV GuestCast also is designed to provide hoteliers and their guests with device isolation capabilities. This feature prevents cross-room communication and the inadvertent casting of content to TVs located in other guestrooms. BeyondTV GuestCast also is compatible with virtually any television model and network in use by hotels today, allowing for a straightforward implementation process with no need to replace pre-existing hardware.
