Hyatt Place Thinks of Everything, With iGoogle's Help

We really do love a good bit of hotel Wifi--when it's included in the cost of the room, that is--and the Hyatt Place brand have done a good job of offering free Wifi since they started opening up across the US.

Now they've taken their online offerings one step further with the introduction of a hotel-industry first. Whenever you use the Wifi access at a Hyatt Place you'll be greeted with a rather useful-looking customized home page, powered by iGoogle.

This means that you'll see a page full of stuff that is probably useful to you while you're on a trip: the local weather, the evening offerings on TV in that city, information about the hotel (especially the room service menu), a box for checking flight info and news feeds from relevant websites. Plus a Google search box, of course, and a direct link to Wikipedia searches too.

It all sounds almost too convenient. Seems like we won't need to ask staff too many questions with everything we need to know just jumping off the screen at us. Add this handy service to their great offers for football fans and we're starting to wonder if we'd ever check out again.
