December 30th,2025 - devicethread is excited to announce Sunshine Inn onboarding devicethread SmartAccess across its property in Kissimmee, Florida. This milestone reflects devicethread's continued growth across Florida's hospitality market, as independent hotel owners look to modern access solutions to simplify daily operations and reduce reliance on front-desk staff.
Streamlining Operations at a Growing Kissimmee PropertySunshine Inn, a 21-room hotel in Kissimmee, needed a more efficient way to manage guest access without placing added strain on its reception team throughout the day.
With SmartAccess, Sunshine Inn now offers guests a smooth, hassle-free arrival experience. The rollout included new smart locks installed across the property, cutting down on manual check-in workflows and reducing front-desk dependency.
SmartAccess was also integrated directly with Sunshine Inn's existing Cloudbeds PMS, allowing guest access to sync seamlessly with reservations and check-in data.
The entire onboarding was completed in just one hour — a fast, low-disruption deployment that had Sunshine Inn up and running with SmartAccess almost immediately.
"Running a property efficiently means finding ways to simplify the small, everyday operational tasks," said Ankit Desai, Owner of Sunshine Inn. "SmartAccess has made guest access seamless and taken real pressure off our front desk."
The result is a more efficient, guest-ready access experience that supports Sunshine Inn's operations while keeping the guest arrival experience smooth and consistent.
Expanding devicethread's Presence in Central FloridaThis onboarding reinforces devicethread's mission to build the agentic infrastructure layer for modern hospitality — helping independent hotels across Central Florida run more efficiently while elevating the guest experience.
