Hotel Internet Services has updated the guestroom entertainment abilities of the Best Western Cotton Tree Inn in Sandy, Utah, with the implementation of BeyondTV GuestCast. Guests can now cast content from their own devices to their in-room TV systems, meeting a growing guest expectation.
Hotel leadership recognized that adopting such technology was vital to remaining competitive and staying ahead of market trends. Management was therefore tasked with identifying a solution capable of seamlessly operating in a hospitality environment to provide each guest with a user-friendly, safe and always enjoyable experience. Engineered specifically for hotel environments, BeyondTV GuestCast is compatible with virtually any guestroom television and Wi-Fi network used by hoteliers, eliminating any risk of hardware replacement or complex integrations.
BeyondTV GuestCast can be used with personal computers, iOS or Android-based devices. The system is compatible with thousands of mobile apps including Netflix, Amazon Prime, ESPN, Disney+, HBO Go and more.
"There's simply no question that today's guests want in-room entertainment to at least match the flexibility and selection that they are used to when at home, and we knew that HIS could deliver precisely what guests expect at an affordable price," said Kristen Fortie, general manager at the Best Western Plus. "After a fast and easy installation, the reaction by our guests has been extremely positive and they are thrilled that they have a straightforward and safe means of continuing to access all of the movies, shows and sporting events that they love."
As a direct device to guestroom television casting solution, BeyondTV GuestCast sidesteps the need for guests to enter in sensitive login details which may otherwise be at risk of theft. With its device isolation capabilities, BeyondTV GuestCast also protects guest privacy by preventing the inadvertent casting of content to televisions located in other guestrooms.
