�When we originally installed Merlot VROOMService in our hotel guest and meeting rooms, we were delighted to see that the simplicity and reliability of the Merlot system was resulting in incredibly high usage rates, averaging 30 percent and exceeding 50 percent on a number of occasions,� said Tom Elwood, Renaissance Westchester General Manager.  �Our decision to install these additional rooms was based on these high usage rates which obviously indicate strong customer demand for HSIA,� he added.

�We are delighted to have such a high-profile and beautifully appointed property as the Renaissance Westchester on our list of satisfied clients. This hotel is experiencing some of the highest and most consistent usage rates we have seen,� said Peter Keenan, Merlot Executive Vice President.
