In general, most the hotels where I see an "elite check-in" line never use it. Most of the time, I have to wait in line behind everyone else.
Rens have started a new program where you can check-in in the CL. They will actually meet you at the door and escort you up to the lounge. I received that treatment at the Wuhan Ren last year.
