High Speed Internet Access: It seems people can not live without Internet nowadays since it makes their life much easier. Almost all hotels provide Internet access. However, the biggest challenge for hoteliers is to provide the same speed and quality to the guests as they receive at home. One of the solutions is to provide different Internet service depends on different charge.

High-Definition Television (HDTV): It is the one of most eye-catching elements in a hotel room. Although the HDTV is expensive, hotelier can purchase different brands and sizes based on the size of the room and their budget. Moreover, it is necessary to provide a series of high-quality channels to support the HDTV device and meet the needs of the guests.

MP3 Docking Station: This is another essential device for many guests. Apple has sold over 100 million iPods and many travelers use them to listen to favorite songs, watch movies, or view family photos. Therefore, docking station should be at the top of any hotelier’s list for in-room devices.

Convenient Electric outlet: This sounds very ordinary, but in most hotels, guests need to crawl under the table to find a power plug for charging their laptops or cell phones. Another suggestion is to provide multi-socket outlet, so that guests can charge their devices, such as digital cameras, cell phones, MP3s and so on, at the same time. There is newly innovative product called Connectality. It is a simple grid called the "power pad" powered by electricity. When you need to charge your phones or MP3s, you can just simply "throw" your device on the pad. The devices will stick to the pad and get charge automatically.
