Marriott's ultra-adaptable room

19 Mar 2008 | Digg | Del.icio.us | Permalink | Print | 2 Comments

Marriott introduces the ultra-adaptable room. Essentially a well placed hub that allows the hotel guest to quickly hook a variety of devices (Laptops, gaming systems, camera,etc…) into the flat screen in your room. Well placed power plugs round it all out. Would be curious to see if anyone has stayed in one of these rooms and their thoughts on the experience.

I’m actually staying at the Hyatt Place right now and they even have a better hub. They have VGA HD inputs in addition to what Marriott has.

They get negative points for the “auto play on load” approach (on the web page you linked to). I hate that. Otherwise the room sounds good.
