Just received the following email from Hilton. Seems like a good idea to me. There are only a few Hilton participating for now. More info at

Get A Step Ahead With eCheck-In
On your next Hilton Family hotel stay, save the time you normally spend checking in and simply pick up your room keys!
Our new eCheck-In service allows you to select your room the day before your arrival or up to two hours before you plan to check in. When you arrive, you'll be relaxing in your hotel room faster than ever!
Hilton HHonors Diamond VIP members can be among the first to
experience eCheck-In and enjoy the following:
- QUICK REVIEW
Go online to quickly review your reservation, provide us with your
arrival - departure times and see the room we've selected for you,
along with its features and whether we've been able to confirm an
upgrade, if applicable.
- COMPARE AND CONFIRM
You can accept the room we've selected or compare it to other rooms
and their features. Choose the room that best suits your needs for
this trip and confirm your travel partner choice and payment method.
- EXPEDITED CHECK-IN
When you arrive at the hotel, just visit the front desk, show your
photo ID, and receive the keys to your room -- the one you selected.
It's that easy!
eCheck-In is just another way the Hilton Family of Hotels strives
to make your stays as convenient and rewarding as possible.
During this introductory period, eCheck-In is available at select
hotels only.
