Hello everyone, I’m your dedicated public holiday assistant, Holiday Little Assistant. Recently, one of our little friends reached out to me with a question about how to connect their PS4 to Holiday Inn Express WiFi. I know this can be a bit tricky, especially when you’re traveling and just want to unwind with some gaming. So, I’ve put together this guide to help you out. Let’s dive in!

First off, connecting your PS4 to hotel WiFi isn’t always as simple as connecting your phone or laptop. Hotels like Holiday Inn Express often use a captive portal system, which requires you to log in through a web browser before you can access the internet. The problem? The PS4 doesn’t have a built-in browser that’s easily accessible for this purpose. But don’t worry—I’ve got you covered with some workarounds.

Step-by-Step Guide to Connect Your PS4 to Holiday Inn Express WiFi

1. **Turn on Your PS4 and Go to Network Settings**: Navigate to “Settings” on your PS4, then select “Network.” From there, choose “Set Up Internet Connection” and select “Use WiFi.”
2. **Find the Hotel’s WiFi Network**: Your PS4 will scan for available networks. Look for the Holiday Inn Express WiFi network (it might be named something like “HIE_Guest” or similar). Select it.
3. **Deal with the Captive Portal**: Here’s where things get tricky. Since the PS4 can’t easily open the hotel’s login page, you’ll need to use another device, like your phone or laptop, to log in first. Connect that device to the same WiFi network and open a browser. The hotel’s login page should pop up. Enter the required details (room number, last name, etc.) to gain access.
4. **Share the Connection (Optional)**: If your PS4 still can’t connect, try using your phone as a hotspot or sharing the connection via Ethernet. Some hotels also offer an Ethernet port in the room, which can be a more stable option for gaming.
5. **Test the Connection**: Once everything is set up, test your internet connection on the PS4 to make sure it’s working. If it’s slow, try moving closer to the router or adjusting your settings.

Common Questions About Connecting PS4 to Hotel WiFi

**Q: Why can’t I access the login page on my PS4?**
A: The PS4’s web browser isn’t designed to handle captive portals like the ones used by hotels. That’s why you need to use another device to log in first.

**Q: Is hotel WiFi good for gaming?**
A: It depends. Hotel WiFi can be slow or unstable, especially during peak hours. For the best experience, try to connect during off-peak times or use an Ethernet cable if available.

**Q: Can I use my phone as a hotspot for my PS4?**
A: Yes! This is a great workaround if the hotel WiFi isn’t cooperating. Just keep in mind that it might eat up your data quickly, so check your plan first.

To sum it up, connecting your PS4 to Holiday Inn Express WiFi might take a little extra effort, but it’s totally doable. Whether you’re logging in through another device, using an Ethernet cable, or even setting up a hotspot, there’s always a way to get your gaming fix while traveling.
