T-Mobile/Accor Update: Guest Rooms Will Be Covered
Posted by John Yunker
I just spoke with T-Mobile and Accor and confirmed that all 359 Red Roof Inns will have 100% Wi-Fi coverage. Deployment has already begun and they expect to have all hotels covered in 12 to 18 months.
Guest room coverage may seem like an no-brainer for any Wi-Fi service provider, yet you would be amazed by the number of hotels that deploy Wi-Fi only in selected guest rooms or only in the public areas and meeting rooms. The Four Seasons of all places is known for offering Wi-Fi in only some of its rooms - and to make matters worse, they charge for access.
