Re: innkeeping: Phones in Guest Rooms

["Tasoon Wong" <tas4you@hotmail.com>]

Hi,  

I think you are definitely making the right decision for installing the 
guest phone in every room.   Making sure that they are directly dialout 
type. The system will automatically track and charge each call to the 
individual room number.  

We have a 28 rooms hotel nearly 20 years ago, in the downtown Montreal, 
Canada, and we would not be able to have the present volume of business, 
if we did not have the phone in the room.  We also found that our guests 
did not mind to get charged for each call (local or long distance) so 
long as the system is user-friendly and efficient. 

As for prices of the system, I am sure you could get better prices in 
the US.  What you really want to compare and pay attention to are the 
installation and aftersales support services...etc. in order to avoid 
costly frustration in the later date.

I hope this tip helps.

Best of luck and regards,
