10 February, 2009：Marriott ExecuStay, a temporary furnished housing, now offers wireless Internet access as a standard in all corporate apartments. The offering makes Marriott ExecuStay the first national corporate housing company to provide system-wide wireless coverage as a standard for guests.
"Marriott ExecuStay says, "Today, wireless connectivity is a ´must have´ in any environment and we´re excited to offer it to our customers," said Cathy Bokman, vice president, corporate housing for Marriott ExecuStay. "Marriott ExecuStay guests want the ability to work as they do in their office or in their home. With our wireless offering, our guests will be able to easily connect to the Web and work how they want -- anywhere they want -- in their ExecuStay apartment."
Wireless access, in addition to hardwire high-speed Internet access (HSIA), is now available in Marriott ExecuStay apartments in major U.S. cities and will be in all apartment locations by the end of 2009.
"Marriott ExecuStay is committed to being the technology leader in the temporary housing industry. We will continue listening to our guests and answer their requests by implementing technology and other offerings that are valuable and impactful to them," said Adam Sherer, vice president, Marriott ExecuStay.
I have to say it is about time we see this. Most European and many international properties offer wireless. It is about time our domestic sector got with the program. You can walk in to many cafes in LA and get wireless, yet you are expected to pay for it while staying in a hotel. It should be like air conditioning. Its there if you need it, an expected "perk" while staying away.
