Great little device

This is our second Streaming Stick, so small and easy to use! The only problem, which i am unsure if it lies with the roku or the place we have rented our last couple of movies....it showed a 30 day rental when we accepted it and only got them for 48 hours each.
I has assumed this would be easier to use and efficiently executed. However, I find the stick to cheaply made and harder to use. Maybe Chrome Cast or Apple TV is a better alternative to this thing.
This device works as well as all other Roku products (I have 4 others), but not in hotel rooms where the local Internet connection requires signing in to a web page and agreeing to terms and conditions and password. It would be helpful if Roku could add a basic web browser that would allow me to sign in to the hotel's Internet. After all, that's why I bought the Roku Streaming Stick in the first place.
During setup there was a recurring failure to connect to Netflix. After resetting device a few times, the Roku failed completely. The stick was a major disappointment. I've had a roku2 for a few years with no problem.
