The Quality Inn Southaven in Mississippi, a Choice Hotels franchised property, has installed Hotel Internet Services’ BeyondTV GuestCast streaming platform. The platform lets guests control their in-room entertainment with secure access to their own streaming subscriptions on guestroom TVs.
Previously offering standard cable channels, Quality Inn Southaven management sought to expand its entertainment offerings as more guests routinely requested the ability to stream personal content. While letting guests cast content from thousands of mobile-based apps, BeyondTV GuestCast does not require the replacing of existing hardware and is fully compatible with virtually any guestroom-based television and Wi-Fi network.
"Guest in-room entertainment expectations have completely transformed over the last decade and hotels that do not adapt by partnering with providers such as HIS not only risk being viewed as out of touch with modern preferences, but also hinder their competitiveness with other properties," said Chirag Patel, owner of the Quality Inn Southaven. "Offering personalized streamed content is so important to many of our corporate and younger guests that we knew we had to go with BeyondTV GuestCast as a solution that can be guaranteed to meet an array of diverse viewing preferences while functioning seamlessly in a hotel environment. We can also ensure that guests feel completely safe accessing their content on guestroom televisions after a quick and easy installation process lasting only a couple of days for our 60-room property."
