Memphis, Tenn. – March 8, 2010 – Hilton Garden Inn, the worldwide brand of upscale yet affordable hotels, today announced the brand-wide rollout of PrintSpots® mobile printing from PrinterOn®. With this service, guests are able to print documents from anywhere in the world directly to the PrintSpots printer located in each of Hilton Garden Inn’s complimentary business centers. The PrintSpots service is complimentary to hotel guests and works with any smartphone device, including the Blackberry® and iPhone®.
“Workloads do not ease up when traveling and according to a recent Hilton Garden Inn survey*, our guests are taking an average of nine business trips a year. With travel schedules like that, we know our guests look to us to provide them with the ability to stay productive while away. Remote mobile printing is one more way we help our guests prepare for their ‘big days’ and help them achieve whatever it is they set out to achieve while traveling,” said Jim Cone, Vice President, Brand Marketing, Hilton Garden Inn.
PrintSpots mobile printing is convenient and easy to use. A guest can simply forward the document they want to print from their smartphone to a property-specific email address dedicated to the PrintSpot printer located in the hotel’s business center. The PrintSpots service completes the task by processing the document and holding it until the guest releases it, using a unique release code.
Hilton Garden Inn is an upscale, yet affordable choice that delivers across five key pillars to ensure guests experience a pleasurable and cost-efficient stay.
- Sleep Deep: Hilton Garden Inn’s adjustable Garden Sleep System® beds conform to your body with a variety of firmness settings and also feature a 100% wool mattress topper to regulate and maintain proper body temperature. Instead of constantly tossing and turning looking for a comfortable sleep position, you’ll spend more time in deep, Stage 4, REM sleep with the Garden Sleep System bed. Studies have shown the more REM sleep you get, the more refreshed you wake up in the morning, ready to tackle your big day.
- Work Smart: Hilton Garden Inn offers complimentary Wi-Fi throughout the entire hotel, in addition to the complimentary business center with computer access and remote printing capabilities, even from your smartphone.
- Eat Well: A fresh, prepared-to-order breakfast featuring waffles, real eggs, omelets, pastries and much more is offered daily in Hilton Garden Inn restaurants, while the Pavilion Pantry mini-market is open 24-hours to grab a quick bite.
- Stay Fit: To avoid any hiccups in your workout routine, Hilton Garden Inn offers well equipped complimentary fitness centers as well as another unique offering - the Stay Fit Kit® - which provides guests an in-room workout that includes a pilates band, yoga mat, strap and bricks, abs ball, hand weights, resistance rope and instruction cards with suggested exercises.
- Treat Yourself: Be sure you take the time to enjoy yourself to get ready for your Big Day! Indulge in popcorn or ice cream from the Pavilion Pantry while enjoying an in-room movie.
