Consider this yet another reason to leave your computer at home when you go on vacation (it’s good to unplug occasionally!). Marriott is thinking about a new service that will give guests access to their Netflix, Hulu and Pandora accounts through their hotel television sets, reports Bloomberg. Sounds neat, right? Don’t get too excited though, as the service is only in the testing stages at eight of the companies properties. It’s also unclear if the service would be complimentary or part of the room bill. Still, it’ll almost surely beat ordering a pay-per-view movie.
