It's really interesting to hear your experiences with in-room tablets. I definitely agree that one of the biggest challenges is getting the guests to actually use the tablets. There are in-room tablet providers with user experiences not even close to what we have designed, and they claim to have a good amount of user interaction each day, but they might be lying or exaggerating. There is only one way to find out, but if it turns out that TV apps are more profitable than in-room tablets, that would actually be good for me.
Regarding your other point on allowing the guest to use his own device during stay, that is an important feature we are considering. I also agree that it is very important.
Thanks a lot again for all the input, I appreciate it!
