“People today are traveling with more devices than ever. At all Choice Hotels properties, it is a top priority to provide guests with secure, high-quality Wi-Fi connectivity and bandwidth,” said Jay Sigona, senior director of Enterprise Program Development and Implementation. “We are pleased to be working with Cox Business/Hospitality Network as a Qualified Vendor.
