"Roomlinx provided multiple Kessler Collection hotels with a complete Cat6 infrastructure upgrade, installed iTV, and a new Free-To-Guest HD head-end for no up-front expense. Already, the results have been terrific," said Kim Douglas, Corporate Director of IT for the Kessler Collection. "Roomlinx gives the control back to the hotelier, allowing us to choose how we offer the SmartRoom®. We are very impressed with the service provided as well as guest reaction to the upgraded amenity."
"The SmartRoom® transforms the guestroom into a business and entertainment center catering to 'lean forward' or 'lean back' guest habits. We strive to give hoteliers a new amenity that more than pays for itself while creating a true property differentiator," said Mike Wasik, CEO of Roomlinx.
