I have been in a lot of hotel rooms. Hope your mind is not in the gutter. I have been in a lot of hotels and hotel rooms through years of working in the travel industry and extensive business travel so it’s quite rare that I see something I haven’t seen before.
On a recent trip to Birmingham, I stayed at the new Hotel La Tour. It’s all very sleek and shiny with great in-room tech and amenities but what stood out for me was the lobby where I experienced a first – a check-in/out ATM. Haven’t seen one of those before. Have you?

I cant say I have seen those machines in any of the hotels I have been in. I think I prefer a personal touch. I want to speak with someone when I am checking, not a machine.

There was a help desk which I suppose gives that option. I think it’s a bit like self check out in supermarkets – a slippery slope!
wonderful post, very informative. I ponder why the opposite experts of this sector do not realize this.
