One of the things I really appreciate about belonging to several hotel guest programs is that my room and key are ready WHEN I check in and I can hit a few buttons on the t-v and check out.

Check in at the Dauphine Orleans took 20 minutes. I was tired and ready to fall asleep (actually I did about 10 minutes later.)
Check-out took a half hour because of guests checking in and guests having questions. LUckily I gave myself extra time because I waited 30 minutes just to get the bill and sign the credit card receipt.

It's the little things in the Frequent Flyer world that I love.

It also could be that the folks in NAWLINS take things a little slower. It's tough to adjust for a Yankee from JERZEE (until I have a hurricane!)
