In this post I put together a video that shows you have to setup your ROKU in your hotel room in 5 minutes or less. This was the last hotel stop on our family vacation. I put together this video rather quickly since we were about to check out. This setup was really easy once you have used your HooToo Travelmate a few times.

The video input select was located on the remote just like it was at the Residence Inn in Melbourne.  Setting up the wireless was super easy since my ROKU was pre-configured for the HooToo Travelmate already.

Enjoy the video and please comment on your experiences of setting up your ROKU in your hotel.

So we are at the fourth hotel in our travels with my ROKU. In this next video, I’ll show you how I got the ROKU working at the Hilton Garden Inn.

}I have noticed in my travels that each hotel property has a different flatscreen TV setup so the key is to make sure you do two things:

1. Find out where the HDMI inputs are located on the TV. If the TV is mounted on a pedestal they are most likely located on the back. If the TV is wall mounted they are located on the side.
2. Find out how to switch the input sources to HDMI. In some cases the input source button is located on the TV themselves on the side or front mounted or in some cases located on the remote. Continue reading Traveling with my ROKU (Video)- Hilton Garden Inn, Manhattan →

Our flight from LaGuardia had mechanical problems so instead of heading home to Orange County we had to spend a night in Nashville after a missed connection. Bad for me but good for you; because I have an extra entry in my ROKU travel log. Continue reading Traveling with my ROKU Holiday Inn – Nashville Airport →

I visited New York city with my family and we checked in to the the LaGuardia Marriott. The TV setup was a little different there and I don’t think you will see this setup ever again since my guess it will be phased out.

But since I am trying to help you use your ROKU in any hotel I thought I would come up with a solution which I will show you how to do and I even shot a video on how I did it. Continue reading Traveling with my ROKU (Video) – LaGuardia Marriott →

I traveled with the family from Miami, FL to Melbourne, FL about a 3 hour drive away. I checked into the Melbourne Residence Inn. In the hotel room the setup was pretty simple with an LG flatscreen with an RF cable hookup and two HDMI inputs. The TV remote had an input selector that let you select between HDMI, cable, and composite inputs. This was a bit of twist since most TVs actually had the input button on the TV set.

Today I’m traveling with my ROKU to Miami. It’s going to be another adventure in saving a bundle of money on family entertainment.

NOTE: If you plan to travel with your ROKU please do a practice run in configuring your HOOTOO Tripmate travel router using your home WIFI network first. In this way you’ll avoid any hassles in your hotel room. Continue reading Traveling with My ROKU (Video)- Miami Marriot →

The choices in room entertainment while you’re checked in to your hotel room are limited and expensive. I ran into this problem during my travels and I figured out how to bring my home entertainment into my hotel room without paying a dime.

Of course its easy to watch Netflix, Amazon Prime and HULU on your laptop in your room but its not the same experience as watching like at home on the big screen.

I’m going to show you how to hook up your ROKU or Chromecast to your hotel room TV and WIFI. I have written to detailed step by step instruction posts on how to do it. Continue reading How to Watch Netflix, Amazon Prime and HULU on Your Hotel TV →

There are two ways to run your Chromecast in your hotel WIFI. The first method which I will cover here first is to purchase a HOOTOO Tripmate travel router. This router you’ll need because in some cases  hotels will only let you have one device at a time connected to the internet. With the HOOTOO travel router you can connect up to 5 devices at a time thus circumventing the device restriction. This device is one of the best things I’ve purchased and I won’t leave home traveling without it. Its only $32!

Ok lets say you’ve got your HOOTOO and you’re in the hotel room. What do you do next? I put together these simple instructions for you to follow. Continue reading How to Setup Your Chromecast to Hotel WIFI →
