Print your boarding pass at the front desk -- new service
I was at the Hyatt Westlake (So Cal) over the weekend and they had set up a terminal at the front desk with a printer right behind it. It was running an application that allowed you to go directly to the online checkin page of many carriers and then print out your boarding pass.
This was wonderfully convenient, as even if you have internet access in your room, you won't be able to print out boarding passes on most business trips unless you travel with a printer (and who does?).
The desk clerk said this service would spread to other Hyatts. I think it's great -- a simple thing to do that makes life easier -- and I hope to see it elsewhere soon.

Hi, Richard, I think this has already been installed in a number of US Hyatts. I've used it several times and I think it's great, particularly since I DON'T travel with a laptop, let alone a printer!

I used it in Kauai and Waikiki in Oct. I believe they were installing it at the Grand Cypress in Dec.
It is a great service, even though the concierges in the RC used to do when asked.

I've been using this every week since around summer 06. I fly CO and they even let you check in from your phone at http://pda.continental.com

So it isn't so new, eh? Ah well. Beats having to hit the machines (which increasingly have lines these days) at the airport. Curious that even when the cost of human labor is NOT a factor the airlines can still manage to make their customers unhappy, but that's OT in this thread!

Have used those workstations to do OLCI for airlines, as well as check for GP bonus codes (because I have a short term memory and the front desk clerk doesn't always put them in).
