Open Asks: Do You Think Being Handed an iPad Tablet Preloaded with Helpful Hotel App Would Amplify Your Stay?3 min read

Whenever you find yourself traveling, be it for business or pleasure – or in the rare instance, both – there are certain amenities that you expect from the hotel that you decide to place your business, money and trust into. Customer service, courteousness, promptness, cleanliness, onsite facilities like a workout gym, restaurants, a safe location, secure rooms, ample parking or valet, room service…these are just but a few of the staples that five-star hotels use to attract and earn the patronage of their valued guests; and to retain them as well. However, thanks to a new technology that has been pioneered by Open, we ask you to imagine how much more convenient and appealing your next hotel stay would be with the Hotel App in place by Open.

Here’s a quick rundown of how a typical visit may be for you with Open’s Hotel App:

1. You check into your hotel and are greeted by the staff. Upon the completion of the check-in process, they wow you by handing you a thin iPad tablet that is preloaded with Open’s Hotel App.
2. The tablet has a really easy-to-use interface, a brilliantly lit touch screen and lots of cool features that you have never seen before; it clearly separates that hotel from another one that you have stayed at before.
3. Upon getting settled into your room, you realize that you are a bit hungry. No problem. The Hotel App has a touch screen menu with one button access to the hotel concierge. You summons the attendant who informs you of local restaurants, their menu offerings and who even offers to book a reservation on your behalf for your convenience.
4. After returning from your meal, a premium movie is in order after a long day. Simply grab your iPad menu with Open’s Hotel App; now you can browse premium movies and order them right from the tablet.
5. The next day arrives, and running short on time, you decide that it is wisest to order breakfast in your room. Thank goodness that the Hotel App has a full room service menu. So you order your meal by first previewing tantalizing, high-definition pictures of menu items, replete with detailed descriptions and prices, and even the ability pay (and tender gratuity) via the included and secure iPad POS.
6. On your way out, you press a button on the Hotel App to have the valet bring your car around. Wasn’t that simple?
7. After a day of splendors and a night of fun on the town – thanks to a few hotspots that you looked up via the included Wi-Fi web browser on your tablet – you call it a night.
8. The next morning, you check out in seconds by using the Hotel App, drop off the iPad to the front desk clerk on your way out, and get into your already car that you had the valet bring around.

Now that’s what we like to call staying at a hotel in style. Learn more about Open’s exclusive Hotel App. And enjoy your stay!
