I was confident in my choice, but I fell in LOVE when I saw this.... a Self Check-In Kiosk!
Now, for those of you who freak when you see ANYTHING with the word "Self" slapped on it, have no fear! There is still a traditional Guest Services desk located in the lobby, with friendly hotel staff waiting with their nice little name tags on ready to help you. But, please do me a favor and listen (or better yet, read) what I have to say about these terrific towers of technology.
THEY ARE SOOOOO EASY TO USE!!! Here's what I did.
1) I touched the "Check In" button on the screen.
2) I swiped the credit card I used to hold the reservation and VOILA! "Welcome Mrs. Cain!"
3) I answered a couple of questions...
a) Where would you like you room...Lower Level? Mid Level? High Level?
b) How many room keys do you need... One? Two?
4) The kiosk then prints out a confirmation that looks like a receipt. It summarizes my reservation, gives me my room number, and even gives me instructions on how to find my room. I obviously didn't need that, but hey...it would be nice to have if I did!
5) After I pull my receipt/confirmation out, it spits out my room key. Oh, and how CUTE is that room key?!?
I'm done! I have just checked myself into a hotel in under 60 seconds, and THAT, to me my friend, is AWESOME!
Now here's what the room looks like. These are real pictures, straight from my little Casio point-and-shoot camera. No touch-ups like you may find on some websites.
And if you're one of those crazy people who work out while on vacation...here you go. Small, but it looks like it gets the job done.
I give it an A+!
Great for business travel and over-night stays when you have an early flight out of ATL the next morning. Good rate. Rooms are very clean. Nice modern decor and comfy beds. Bathrooms are squeaky clean. The staff is very friendly. Although I didn't talk to anyone while checking in (because of the nifty kiosk), I got a call from the front desk within 30 minutes of arriving to see if I was okay and satisfied with the room. "YES!" was my response. To be honest, I didn't even know they knew I was here! :)
