Tech-savy Sleep Inn
From trying to navigate foreign city streets in the hopes of finding a place to eat or a nearby shop to pick up some forgotten items, to finding Internet access to do last-minute work on a business proposal or simply catch an out-of-network game, travelers – whether for business or pleasure – encounter some unique obstacles during their short stay in a city. With the help of a hospitality media and entertainment solutions company, Sleep Inn at Dakota Square Mall is hoping to spare guests many of those inconveniences while also building up the hotel’s customer service and marketing clout. Created by Roomlinx, the high-definition, Internet-based in-room entertainment system enables guests to access national and international music, movies, TV, news and publication sites as well as local information on restaurants, events and shopping – the system even has a business center where a guest can work on a Power Point presentation or proposal using Microsoft Open Office.
