Advance hotel room assignments

Hilton is testing out e-checkin.

    Our new eCheck-In service allows you to have the convenience and control to complete your registration the day before or up to two hours before you plan to arrive.

The idea is similar to picking a seat assignment on a plane, you should be able to see what room you’re blocked into and choose a different room if you prefer. It should even process upgrades.

This is going to be interesting to watch.
