I would never use a hotel TV by choice. When it happens, it’s because there’s literally nothing else to do in that moment. But even then, it’s a struggle of shit quality, the most fucked up position in the room imagineable, unintelligible audio, and a bombardment of unskippale advertising.
Really, the only thing entertaining is seeing if any previous guests stayed logged into Netflix, then finding weird stuff to add to their ‘Continue Watching’ category.
And nowadays they let you cast to them (sometimes). But even ones that were locked I’ve gone and just asked for the unlocked remote and maintenance has always provided. The hotel brand cares; the workers do not give a fuck.
We would come in from the beach or bars drunk, high, and overexcited, but knowing we had to sleep or the next day would be ruined. So we’d turn on a movie to fall asleep to. Unfortunately the last time, it was Addams Family Values, and my ass stayed up extra late watching the whole thing.
We haven’t had cable in 12 years. Whenever we go to a hotel we specifically look for low quality reality tv with lots of ads. It’s so ridiculous that it becomes funny and entertaining, for about 20 minutes that is.
I used to watch FoxNews for shits just to see the wild shit they show, but recently the hotel I stay at most frequently no longer gets that channel. it was really disappointing, now I have to hope to catch criminal minds reruns or a random movie

I only use them if they have an HDMI port so I can play whatever I want on it.

Former hotel employee, can confirm.
I just plug in my AppleTV or Switch or laptop…
the issue is usually that you can’t adjust the display settings for a more suitable picture
