Hotels are always looking for ways to better guest’s stays. Hyatt is not the first to look at adding in-room streaming options to their hotel rooms. A couple years ago, Marriott was looking at Netflix, New Marriott Amenity Coming Soon? Hyatt has announced today that they have chosen to partner with  SONIFI Solutions, patent-pending STAYCAST™ solution, powered by Google Chromecast, which has been integrated into their milt app. With this new amenity you can access secure streaming of your “favorite apps, such as Netflix®, Hulu®, YouTube® and 1,000+ others, to the in-room television through a Chromecast device.”

Bottom Line
This is a new benefit is added value to Hyatt properties. One of the best benefits of Sonifi sounds to me that it “automatically disconnects guests at checkout.” I have forgotten to sign out of my Netflix account on occasion at hotel rooms and I have also traveled with my Apple Tv or Amazon Firestick before. So, I like this benefit. How about you?

I travel with my Apple TV to accomplish this but almost always requires a phone call to the properties outside internet support company….Will this get rid of that step?
Thanks
