World Cinema’s In-Room Digital Entertainment Solutions Quickly Solve InTown Suites’ Logistical Challenges of Working with Multiple Vendors and Help Improve Overall Guest Experience
HOUSTON, TEXAS, and ATLANTA, GEORGIA, October 13, 2020 /PRNewswire/ – World Cinema, the leader in providing innovative technology, services and connectivity to guest-centric properties, and InTown Suites, a leader in extended stay hotels, today announced that World Cinema is providing its best-in-class in-room guest entertainment solutions to InTown Suites’ 196 properties across 22 states.
World Cinema’s turn-key in-room digital entertainment solutions for InTown Suites properties include a 60 channel HD television line-up, offering guests the ability to view the content they most want.

Working with World Cinema has been effortless over our ten-year relationship – both on the pricing and contract side, as well as with their knowledgeable and competent technicians. In addition, we no longer face logistical challenges working with multiple vendors; which further helps improve overall guest experience.”
“InTown Suites is America’s trusted extended stay brand and we are honored to have worked with the company over the past decade,” said Tommy Fatjo, President, World Cinema. “This is a true long-term business partnership that has created a positive experience across both brands with entertainment technology, improved processes for both companies, and has ultimately provided the InTown Suites’ guest with a best-in-class experience. We look forward to a continued, mutually successful relationship.”
