On the contrary, it can supplement it. Guests not only have greater control over their stay at their fingertips, but can effectively skip all tiresome queuing in line at the front desk, and that’s not all. Nowadays guests can use a mobile hotel app or hotel kiosk to: • Select a preferred room • Opt for an upsell of a room, package or extra services • Complete their registration cards in advance • Check-in and get their room key cards • Check and settle hotel and restaurant bills. • Use digital concierge and get real- time content with weather and flight information, entertainment options, local event updates, area maps etc • Get in touch with the hotel staff via a real-time messaging service such as ‘do not disturb’ or ‘Clean room’ requests etc • Leave their feedback or review of the hotel When all the boring formalities of a check-in are addressed in just a few clicks by the guest themselves, a receptionist can have much more time to properly attend to the various other needs, with a more person and human touch too. The result of this teamwork between hotel personnel and technology is more than positive – it’s a success story of elevated guest experience and greater than ever sense of customer loyalty to the brand.
