4.4Hotels That Will Make Your Life Easier BY JOHN BRANDON For the business traveler who is all about efficiency:Check out these hotels that will get you in and out with a minimum of trouble. When you are pressed for time on a business trip,nothing can infuriate you more than a slow hotel check-in process.On your next trip,try these hotels that offer a speedier check-in process. 1.Yotel New York The self-service kiosks at this high-tech New York hotel work just like the ones you'd see at an airport.There are just five-steps to register and obtain your card key.There is even a robotic luggage bellboy.You tap in the number of bags you are carrying and sizes,then wait for a robot arm to swing down and store your luggage in a locker (say,for a day trip).This also speeds up the check-in process if the first thing you need to do,like me,is head to a series of meetings. 2.Marriott Detroit Airport Another option for business travelers in a hurry:Marriott is rolling out its mobile check-in app to 325hotels this year,including the Marriott Detroit Airport hotel.(I've tested the app itself but not for a real visit quite yet.) Here is the basic idea:you download the iphone or Android app.The night before,you can"check-in"virtually.When you arrive,you get an alert that the room is ready and your key,which is already tied to your reservation,is waiting for you at the desk. 3.Hyatt Regency Minneapolis I happened to stay at this hotel recently and liked how fast the kiosk check-in works.Like the Yotel,the kiosk asks you to insert your credit card,similar to an airport terminal.The whole process took about three minutes,when I left,I was equally impressed with the fast check-out.An agent meets you in the lobby with an ipad and asks for an email to use for a receipt.The big advantage:you never have to wait in line. 4.Radisson:LaCrosse The Radisson is trying to make the kiosk process even faster,at a few select hotels like the Radisson Lacrosse in Wisconsin,you use a mobile app to register and then receive a barcode by email or text.When you get the kiosk,you scan the barcode to get your key without any other steps required.It's super fast.You can find this new check-in system at the Radisson hotels in Salt Lake City,Seattle,and Phoenix as well. |
