This makes access to the Premier Services faster and because they are grouped under meaningful headings on a simple menu system the guest can get the information they need fast, be it airline schedules or local weather reports. For guests who have an existing Email account, GuestNet can be receive email in their bedroom, on the TV with full editing on screen and a remote, full size, keyboard, it's a snap.
