The Hampton Inn & Suites Kokomo strives to deliver a comfortable, memorable stay for business and leisure guests alike. Recognizing that both in-room technology and convenience amenities play a significant role in guest satisfaction, the hotel partnered with Transworld to upgrade its guest room televisions and enhance its in-room appliance offerings.

In addition to deploying Samsung U701F Series 55″ Hospitality Displays with Swivel Stands, the property also acquired Danby 0.7 cu. ft. Countertop Microwaves (DBMW0720ASD) and Danby 2.2 cu. ft. Compact Refrigerators (DAR022A1SLDB) for all guest rooms. Together, these upgrades were designed to provide a modern viewing experience while adding practical, high-demand conveniences that elevate overall guest comfort.

The Challenge

Hampton Inn & Suites Kokomo needed to address several key goals related to both in-room entertainment and guest convenience:

Outdated Displays

Older TVs lacked modern resolution, smart features, and ease-of-use, making it difficult for guests to connect personal devices or enjoy preferred content.

Limited In-Room Convenience Amenities

Guests increasingly expect practical amenities such as microwaves and refrigerators for storing beverages, reheating meals, and extending comfort during longer stays.

Consistent Guest Experience

With a diverse mix of standard rooms and suites, the hotel required uniform solutions that ensured consistent performance and amenities in every space.

Operational Simplicity

Hotel staff needed equipment that was easy to install, manage, maintain, and service without excessive downtime or technical complexity.

The Solution

To meet these objectives, the hotel implemented a comprehensive in-room upgrade that included both entertainment and appliance enhancements.
