Stage Neck Inn, a 58-room luxury beachfront hotel in York Harbor, Maine, has implemented Hotel Internet Services' GuestCast streaming platform. The installation allows for a user-friendly and secure guestroom TV experience that is able to instantly adapt to the streaming preferences of any guest.
After experimenting with streaming platforms primarily intended for residential use, Stage Neck Inn singled out GuestCast as the technology most capable of addressing streaming needs within a hotel environment. Specifically, GuestCast is engineered to guarantee ease-of-use even for first-time users of the system. Featuring an intuitive dashboard that reduces guest frustration, GuestCast also includes a simplified personal device-pairing process that allows guests to cast content using just a QR code. The platform's design also ensures instant compatibility with virtually any streaming service, according to the company.
“Adopting a streaming platform is more of a requirement as the industry plays catchup with modern consumer behaviors, but not all solutions are alike, and hoteliers need to be careful in selecting a solution that can adapt to the unique needs of a hotel business,” Stage Neck Inn GM Peter Foster said in a statement. “After performing research into our various options, GuestCast clearly stood out as a cost-effective technology ideally suited to providing each guest with hassle-free access to whatever content they wish to view on guestroom televisions. Significantly and in comparison to other solutions I’ve seen used by other properties, GuestCast boosts guest peace-of-mind by sidestepping data security risks and protecting their privacy in order to maximize confidence in using the system.”
