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（售貨亭）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 heading 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 selected 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.
