Keeping �In Tune� with Guests Ashkenazi said that in the past, guests have found the guestroom clock radio to be difficult to program when setting the alarm and also difficult to tune into a music format that they prefer. The Comfort Suites CS1233BA alarm clock radio can be set easily and offers a selection of pre-programmed radio stations by music format, such as jazz, country, rock or classical. The CS1233BA also requires little set up as it comes with auto-set� technology; the time is already set and the hotel version will also include pre-set buttons with icons, allowing the hotelier to set four popular stations for the guest as an added convenience. EZ set directions make the alarm feature effortless for the guest to operate. An MP3/CD line-in cord is also provided so guests can plug in their CD players or any other branded MP3 players should they wish to do so. Chris Gowdy, VP of Hotel Technologies� Sales Division, said all alarm clock radio products feature a patent pending Single Day Alarm --a very important feature for hotels. If the previous guest sets an early alarm, the Single Day Alarm feature ensures that the next guest will not be awakened accidentally, since the alarm was never turned off. �From entertainment clock radios to new and exciting connectivity solutions for rooms, Hotel Technologies is bringing �the science of feeling at home� to hotels,� Gowdy said. �We are looking for hotel partners who want their guests to feel at home and make their stay memorable. We are committed to bringing a variety of sleek, high tech, high quality, user friendly consumer audio products to the hotel market, each designed with the discriminating traveler in mind.� For more information on the complete line of Hotel Technologies� products and services, call 888-74HOTEL (888-744-6835), visit www.hoteltechnologies.com.
