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 next door* TRAX (light rail)- 1 minute walk.* Quick access to the freeway- 1 minute drive.* Location in downtown newly revitalized neighborhood.* New rooms with latest technology.* Quick check-in computer- anytime after 2PM for online bookings only, no walk-ins.* 24-hour laundry facility* 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.
