LIVERMORE, Calif., Aug. 14, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Comcast Business
today announced that Inn Marin, a boutique hotel, with
state-of-the-art green lodging accommodations and sustainability
practices, will have Comcast Business' advanced, 400Mbps
fiber-optic Ethernet solution to help improve its guest experience
as the premier resort and meeting space in Marin County.
Inn Marin's owner sought access to super-fast broadband for the
historic property after recognizing that fast Internet is expected
by today's traveler and business client – and is now crucial to
running a seamless hospitality operation. With this installation,
Inn Marin will transition from some of the slowest DSL broadband in
the North Bay to one of the fastest Internet services, providing
guests with speeds of up to 400Mbps. The Inn will be the first
hospitality property in the North Bay to have this level of
high-speed Internet.
"With Comcast Business' Ethernet and voice services, we now have
an enormous improvement to our business," said Robert Marshall, owner of Inn Marin. "Finding a
provider willing to work with us on construction costs and
actionable solutions was incredibly difficult. Comcast Business
partnered with us through a challenging installation."
Comcast Business installed fiber Ethernet service, which has
traditionally been more challenging to achieve in rural areas
especially on older properties. The Inn is now live with its
high-speed Internet. Comcast's voice services will also enable
guests to make complimentary long-distance calls to anywhere in the
continental United States.
"The combination of Comcast Business' Ethernet and voice
services could help transform Inn Marin from a small hotel to a
premier travel destination and venue for travelers and businesses
alike," said Ted Girdner, vice
president at Comcast Business, California region. "We were glad we were able
to provide a solution that will help Inn Marin improve on current
needs and grow its business."
We believe Inn Marin can serve as a model for hospitality
businesses in the North Bay and Sonoma. The conference and
event industry is extremely competitive, and these days venues
simply can't afford to have slow Internet services for conferences
and business travelers," Girdner added.
In addition to boosting corporate and guest lodgings in the
area, Marshall is excited that local Marin county organizations that hold their
meetings at Inn Marin will also benefit from these services.
