The Details Behind The In-Room Entertainment Survey
In the hospitality industry, guest expectations are higher than ever. Clean rooms and comfortable beds are essential, but what truly enhances the guest experience is often overlooked — in-room entertainment. At DishRus, we reviewed survey data to better understand what travelers value most in their hotel TV experience. The results highlight why hotels and businesses should pay closer attention to their entertainment offerings.

What Guests Expect
Survey results reveal that travelers want consistency and variety. Business and leisure guests alike expect:
Familiar experiences across properties – A DIRECTV channel lineup they already know.
Variety of content – Live TV, sports, news, movies, and premium channels.
No surprises – Guests dislike hidden fees or locked channels.
Streaming support – Over 60% of younger travelers want to connect their own services.
This shows that in-room entertainment is more than just “something to watch.” It’s a major factor in whether guests return.
