"We completed a 100% property renovation in January 2014 and wanted to offer 'wow factor' travel amenities that make our Sleep Inn stand out from other hotels near DFW," said Rick Patel, the property's general manager. "I shopped different airport displays; FlyteBoard was the best. I went to another property to check it out and it was exactly what I wanted." Patel supplied his own high-definition flat screen monitor. "I got the biggest display I could find and mounted the 73" screen on a central lobby balcony wall where it is easy to see."

Flyte Systems is the leading provider of cost effective airport travel information displays and digital signage content for the hospitality, digital signage, and convention center industries and related businesses. Flyte is the only full service flight information display solution that provides subscription-based real-time flight departure information.

'She would stay here again just because of the FlyteBoard'
"Our guests are very happy with the FlyteBoard information. One said she would stay here again just because of the FlyteBoard," Patel said. "It also reduces the demand for our business center. Guests like to be in the lobby to check flight times before they get on our shuttle. They frequently ask to stay on property to wait out flight delays because it is more comfortable than on the concourse. The information is a huge convenience to them. The FlyteBoard has our Logo and includes time, temperature, and a space for other information if we want to add it. Support from Flyte Systems is excellent."

The Sleep Inn DFW North is just a quarter mile from DFW and is perfect for busy travelers. The property offers hot breakfast each morning and free 24 hour shuttle services to DFW. Guests relax in the Sleep Inn DFW's heated indoor pool and Jacuzzi. For greater comfort, all rooms have deluxe amenities,130 channels of HD entertainment and micro refrigerators.
