Hawthorn Suites by Wyndham in West Palm Beach, Florida Selects Comcast Business Hospitality

Top-ranking hotel upgrades to Comcast Ethernet, TV and voice services to boost performance and improve the guest experience

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Comcast Business, a unit of Comcast Cable, the nation’s largest video, high-speed Internet and phone provider to business and residential customers, today announced that Hawthorn Suites by Wyndham in West Palm Beach, Florida, has selected Comcast Business Hospitality for data, phone and TV services for its 112-suite property. The new Comcast services will increase Internet speeds to 100 Megabits per second (Mbps) using Comcast Ethernet, giving guests faster Internet access for business or personal use while staying at the hotel. The increased speeds will also help the hotel staff to conduct their daily operations more efficiently, and provide the convenience of a single provider for data, voice and video service.

“Our guests expect to check into our property and conduct business day or night,” said William Murray, general manager of the Hawthorn Suites – West Palm Beach. “Because we are an extended-stay hotel, our suites are often used as a remote office for traveling executives. The increased speed from the Comcast service allows our guests to work in their rooms with connection speeds that are the same as what they would have back at their office.”

Hawthorn Suites by Wyndham – West Palm Beach is an extended stay hotel that is located a short distance from Palm Beach International Airport and is conveniently located near many businesses and attractions. It caters to business travelers that are staying in the area for multiple days and people relocating to the area who are looking for temporary housing. The hotel has a top ranking by Trip Advisor – it is currently ranked #1 out of 34 hotels in the Palm Beach area.

Prior to working with Comcast, the hotel had a 3 Mbps service for all of its guests, and 3 Mbps for back office operations, both from another provider.
