Hilton introduces smartphone features

Submitted by Wanderlust Andi

Hilton is offering a new service to their guests that allows them to pick their own room and floor plan from their mobile device. The guests will also be able to customize their stay by requesting certain amenities for their room. The day prior to check-in, the guest will log in with their mobile device and pick their room and added features. Guests will also be able to check in and out of the hotel remotely from their smart phone. Added features to come in the future include the ability to unlock their room with their smartphone.

This sounds like an interesting innovation. I particularly like being able to choose the room and floor plan. Let's hope that the app also includes the ability to know what the view is, so you don't get a view of a wall.

Yikes! You could be charged $50 for just putting your cream in the minibar at the Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. They call it a "restocking" fee. Bottom line: don't touch that minibar, for fear of a huge, bottom line surprise on your hotel bill!
