I think this place is even more than a hostel. It also trains you to self-discipline and resolve the problems independently. It is in a very convenient location and has complete equipment, including kitchen, laundry, WiFi and bicycle... you just can't miss such a cool place and a self test!� Jacob Hsu, Taichung, Taiwan*'You're self check-in system is AMAZING. As I said, 90% of my time is spent away from home. If all hotels had this system in place, it would ease the weary traveler... It's also attractive for the business traveler too.'George FisherWyoming, USA*'...I liked that we could check-in, even though we got there very late.'Laura DziornyMaryland, USA==============USA TODAY ARTICLE ABOUT SELF-CHECK-IN==============Source: 'Self-service hotel check-in to increase' By Jui Chakravorty, 2006 Reuters.NEW YORK � Self-service kiosks in hotel lobbies, which let travelers bypass the front desk at check-in, will eventually help hotels stem rising labor costs by enabling them to serve guests with fewer staff.Hilton was the first to launch the kiosks early last year. With 102 kiosks in 42 hotels, they have so far been 'very successful,' Hilton spokeswoman Kathy Shepard said.Hotels have been introducing self-service check-in in large, urban areas that cater to business travelers, already comfortable with the convenience of express checkout. 'Clearly the business traveler is an earlier adapter of self service,' said Tom Conophy, chief technical officer at Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, ... Sheraton, Westin, St. Regis and W Hotels. If front desk staffing is cut back, those employees will likely be 'repurposed' into serving guests in other ways, Conophy said. 'We would look at staff we have now take on different roles, such as lobby ambassadors.'Labor has been a growing issue for large U.S. hotels... ==============HIGHLIGHTS==============* Free parking- we have a big parking lot* TRAX (light rail) within walking distance (3-min walk) * Quick access to the freeway (3-min drive)* Location near downtown (2-min walk)* New rooms (with latest technology)* Quick check-in computer (anytime after 2PM for online bookings only, no walk-ins)* 24-hour coin laundry* Disposable plates, cups, forks, etc. (more sanitary)* Only guests with a credit card (more select client�le)==============CONDITIONS==============*ANYONE ARRIVING AFTER MIDNIGHT - must confirm their reservation details with the Guest House ahead of arrival.*CREDIT CARD - The card you book the room with is the card we will charge the total amount due to secure the room.
