9．4 Hotels That Will Make Your Life Easier
   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 325 hotels 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．
