I have never used online check-in, but I am seriously considering it for an upcoming stay. There has been conflicting feedback, and I would appreciate some advice from those who have recently used it.
Thanks for any input on this. I am seriously thinking of trying it out.
- If I made room requests through my TA, do I just not make any room requests when I do online check-in, fearing that my original requests will be ignored?
- Since OLCI allows you to advise an arrival time, is there a better chance that your room will be available at time of arrival, even if arriving a couple of hours before normal check-in time?
- How much of a problem is it if you want to request a different room (don't care for location assigned, etc)?
1. Just make similar requests online and you are good. For instance, give TA 1st floor and click 1st floor on OLCI. Don't give TA 1st floor but click upper floor OLCI. That way, if they lost the TA notes somehow they have the ones on your check in. I think OLCI does help with #2 since you can click "make room ready early override everything else" or however it's worded. You have to pick at least 1 option in the OLCI requests to make that option available though.
OLCI can't hurt so I'm not sure why folks avoid using it
