The High Tech Holiday Inn
from the fun-with-hotels dept
An article about the Wall Street Holiday Inn in Manhattan which is quickly becoming the place to stay for the high tech traveler. They keep adding new features and gadgets to make the hotel better. Soon, they're going to have bluetooth based check-in and room entry. When you book your room, they record your cell phone number. When you enter the hotel your phone will give you your room number (you have to enter a PIN number). Then, when you get to the room, your phone will unlock the door as well.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
