Hotel guests would rather Netflix and chill than watch pay-per-view porn, new research shows.
Adult entertainment has long been a profitable source of in-room entertainment for hotels, but the proliferation of high-speed internet, and guests who bring their own streaming devices, has reduced the need for video rentals at chains around the world.
