Coming Soon: Curbside Check-in.

How'd you like to get out of standing in line at the front desk to check in? If Symbol Technologies, Holtsville, N.Y., has anything to say about it, guests will soon be able to check into a Starwood Hotels property by having a bellman swipe your credit card on a Palm-like device — and hand you a key. A successful pilot program involving this new technology has just been completed at the Sheraton Parsippany in New Jersey.
