Love is all around sang Wet Wet Wet in 1995. It appears technology is the same – unless you stay in some hotels…
IT, and just generally technology as a whole, seemingly makes the world go around. Just think about it. When was the last time you went 24 hours without some form of technology? And when it broke…how much did you feel like you couldn’t do without it?
Be it your trusty computer at work, checking your phone for Facebook before bed or getting a few games of Fifa in on your console, technology surrounds almost every aspect of our lives.
Imagine the surprise at Week2Week towers then when we saw an online article by Big Hospitality that hotels still are not investing in technology enough.
Aspects of business such as online and direct bookings and mobile roaming were pointed out as particular sticking points for hotels – who in some cases cannot upgrade technology due to ‘budget constraints.’
A massive 86% of travellers said they expected free Wi-Fi in hotels and accommodation when travelling (tnooz.com), and coupled with the reluctance, or financial restrictions on hotels, it’s perhaps unsurprising that these once default travel options have been losing out on business to serviced apartments.
A number of industry news websites have published articles along the lines of top reasons to stay with serviced apartments over a hotel; a lot of the time technology is near the top of that list.
At Week2Week serviced apartments, we know that staying connected is vital for travellers no matter their reason for staying with us. That’s why all of our prime location, fully serviced apartments feature free Wi-Fi. So no matter if it’s an important office email, or a Facebook message from a long lost friend, you won’t miss a thing.
Not only that but with a Week2Week apartment you’ll get the comfort you would expect from a hotel with all the space and privacy you’re used to in your very own home.
No matter your reason for visiting the north east of England, you’ll feel at home – for days, weeks or even years.
