“Our hotel caters to a particularly high-end guest demographic who come to enjoy Napa Valley’s various wineries, but when they choose to remain onsite, their expectations for personalized entertainment options must be met… HIS technology and expertise has always exceeded the expectations of our guests and staff at our other locations, so we had absolutely no reservations in deciding to work with them again at the Best Western Inn at the Vines. The level of support provided continues to be responsive and flawless, while the feedback that we now receive from guests over their streaming experiences demonstrates that HIS technology can satisfy even the highest of guest standards.”
