Print your documents from iPhone, Blackberry at Hilton Garden Inn hotels

Hilton Garden Inn hotels are rolling out a system that lets iPhone and Blackberry using guests print documents from anywhere in the world directly to printer locations inside its hotel business centers.

The PrintSpots mobile printing service is free to hotel guests and works with any smartphone, Hilton Garden Inn’s press release says.

The chain sees the mobile printing service as a way to help make its customers - who on average take nine business trips per year - more productive. “Workloads do not ease up when traveling,” said Jim Cone, brand marketing exec for Hilton Garden Inn.
