Step 2 - Submit Images

Expectations & Take-Aways

Directory Content

Development of the on-screen directory begins once all directory content has been submitted.

Submit content 2 – 3 weeks prior to the installation date in order for the on-screen directory to be delivered at the time of installation. Delay in content submission will also delay when the on-screen directory is published to the property.

Turnaround Time

The overall turnaround process may take 2 – 3 weeks from when the on-screen directory content is submitted. This includes development, revision process, testing and publishing to the property.

Communication and prompt response plays a vital role in the ability to deliver within this time frame.

Directory Update Fee

After final approval of the on-screen directory, any updates after are subject to an update fee of $450 which includes development, revisions, testing and republishing to the property.

Typical turnaround is 2 – 3 weeks. If faster turnaround is required, rush fee may be applied.

FAQs

What is a Theme?

A theme is the overall branded user interface. It consists of the welcome screen, channel guide, streaming apps and the on-screen hotel directory as well as other features purchased by your property. Themes by Enseo for your hotel conform to Marriott’s Guest Room Entertainment standards per each brand.

What do I do after I deliver the assets to Enseo?

After you receive confirmation that we have received all the assets, we’ll begin development of your theme and directory. Screenshots of your property directory will be provided for your review and final approval, before moving into testing.

After approval, how fast will the theme be pushed to onsite TVs?

Once the screenshots are approved, we’ll submit the theme to internal testing and the theme should be onsite within 5-7 business days.

Why do I need high resolution images?

Low resolution images will appear very pixelated and blurry from a TV in your guest’s room. As we want the highest of quality for your property and your guest, we request that all images be high resolution with a minimum of 2MB at 300 dpi, and in a JPEG, PNG or TIFF format.

 

Please Note: If an image does not fit the quality standard, our team will notify you.

Will I be able to review/approve the on-screen hotel directory before it launches on property?

Every property will have an opportunity to review and make changes to their property’s theme prior to publishing live to the property. Any change requests after the final approved theme has been published are subject to a change fee of $450, which includes one hour for design work and one hour for testing and publishing to the property. Work exceeding two hours is $150 per additional hour.

Can I add dining menus to the Directory and do they count as a page?

Depending on your property’s Guest Room Entertainment brand standards as determined by Marriott, Food & Beverage menus may be added as well as Spa Services, Room Service and more. Each menu screen counts as a Hotel Directory page. If you’re interested in adding menus, please speak with your marketing contact. Additional hotel directory pages may also be available for purchase.

What are House Channels?

A House Channel is a channel within the guide that can play video(s) on loop. The videos can be promotional videos, brand videos, or property-specific or seasonal videos. The video can stream to any screen within the UI such as the Welcome Screen, Hotel Directory, etc. Ask your marketing contact today if you’re looking to add videos.

Can I make changes to our Hotel Directory?

Every property will have an opportunity to review and make changes to their property’s theme prior to publishing live to the property. Any change requests after the final approved theme has been published are subject to a change fee of $450, which includes one hour for design work and one hour for testing and publishing to the property. Work exceeding two hours is $150 per additional hour.
