Absolutely agree. It's not their job to even know to ask for a specific
protocol version in the first place. Their experience should be as seamless
and consistent as possible at all times.

What we should be be concerned about is that the hospitality industry is so
far behind the game on technology. Hotels and restaurants will be some of
the last to drop IPv4 unless they don't realize they're doing it in the
first place.

Just turn IPv6 on when you can.

We manage 65+ hotels in Canada and the topic of IPv6 for guest internet
connectivity has never been brought up, except by me. It's not a
discussion our
vendors or the hotel brands have opened either.

I would argue customers never asked an IPv4 connection either, they asked
for an Internet connection.  The Internet is IPv4 and IPv6.

I working on a large airport WiFi deployment right now. IPv6 is
"allowed for in the future" but not configured in the short term. With
less than
10,000 ephemeral users, we don't expect users to demand IPv6 until
most mobile devices and apps come ready to use IPv6 by default.

End users will never demand IPv6, turn it on :-)
