Room # notifications - MDE vs text message

[mslhb]

We got a text while waiting for ME. When we got there we went to the hotel checkin since we weren't ideally happy with room location. He assigned us a new room and we got that text while standing there at the counter. So for us it seemed to be realtime once the room was confirmed ready.

Ok, follow-up! When we landed at 11:45 I found 2 texts sent 40 and 20 minutes prior. The first said our room wasn't ready yet, the second said it was and gave the room number. I received a room-ready email shortly after. So when DME dropped us off we walked straight to our room. As of 6:20 pm, MDE still says "check back later"!

So MDE seems more like a reminder than a notification. Kind of like those drivers who put on their blinker when they are already halfway into the next lane.

Sort of depends.
Some people see it in MDE before they get a text. Others get their text first.
I think for International folks it is really a big help as they don't get texts
But for the old folk (like me!) it's a great way to remind yourself of your room number. I have to say I have forgotten more than once
