Sunridge Hotel Group Rolls Out All-in-One Charging Solution
Sunridge Hotel Group is ensuring that guests have the easiest and most convenient way to plug, power and play their mobile devices by standardizing with Bittel in-room charging solutions. Today Bittel’s all-in-one UNOMedia 5 charging station with brand-compliant alarm/clock/radio/telephone is a standard feature at four of 17 Sunridge properties representing the Courtyard by Marriott, Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott, Residence Inn by Marriott, SpringHill Suites by Marriott, TownePlace Suites by Marriott and Holiday Inn Express & Suites brands. Three properties feature UNOMedia 4 and four hotels feature the UNOMini. Eventually all properties will feature UNOMedia 5.
“Hospitality is a demanding industry, so to keep our guests happy and coming back, we stay on top of the latest technology trends and provide the most efficient in-room equipment,” said Don Brooksby, Sunridge Properties Director of Technology. “Guests need assurrances that they can charge and enjoy ALL their personal technologies without any issues. UNOMedia 5 supports ALL devices, including Apple lightning (iPhone 5 and 6 series, and new iPad), Micro USB (Android, Blackberry and Windows), Apple legacy products (iPhone 4s and older), and audio 3.5mm. It also features four USB charging ports designed for both standard and high power charging.
“Real estate on the nightstand is another problem addressed by Bittel,” Brooksby said.
A renovation of the Fairfield Inn and Suites by Marriott property in Sierra Vista, Ariz., is scheduled for 2017. Until that time, mobile device charging was not provided in the room, and guest complaints were mounting because there were no available outlets near the bedside. Sunridge consulted with Bittel to find a temporary solution.
The Classic Charger being used at the Fairfield Inn and Suites by Marriott Sierra Vista also features Bittel’s optional Multi-Charging Cable that includes four connectors for Apple traditional (iPhone 4s and older), Apple Lightning (iPhone 6 and 5 plus new iPad), and two Micro USB (Android, Blackberry and Windows) charging. The Classic Charger is compatible with nearly all guestroom phones; no lamps, outlets, or furniture mods are required.
