Ask HN: Would you check into a hotel if they gave you a local smartphone?

Would you choose a particular hotel if they gave you a free mobile travel assistant that you can use for Internet, Google Maps, currency conversion, discounts on food, drinks, activities as well as Wifi hotspot for your phone?

We're aiming to make global travel easier and the first thing we want to do is help people get access to Internet beyond the free public wifis, without the need of looking up local SIM providers, renting a pocket wifi and no roaming fees.

We think this solution will be useful but in order to make it free for travellers, we're partnering with hotels. We're also looking at potentially partnering with AirBnB hosts and help them make their host experience better and generate extra revenue.
