Marriott, recently in the news for attempting to block private hotspots, is working to offer familiar entertainment via their in-room video systems.
Marriott International is testing out new in-room entertainment in eight hotels across its chain (which is, admittedly, a relatively small test considering the chain operates more than 4,000 properties in over eighty countries) that includes the ability to watch Netflix, Hulu, or listen to Pandora from the high-def television in the room.
The hospitality company says that it’s part of an effort to renew the idea of in-room entertainment, and if offering Netflix means we don’t have to sift through the glitchy, slow world of LodgeNet, it’s a win-win for the consumer.
It’s unclear which method Marriott will use to deliver this content to consumers
