A lot of the older generations don't trust AI and will chose ones without robots.

Most critical functions involve a highly trained person interacting with software on behalf of a poorly trained guest. The guest is not familiar with the booking software, which is why the hotel has trained employees.

This process can be automated with prompts (which already exist), phasing out the need for human interaction. All you have to do is walk up to the kiosk screen, tap "check in," follow an authentication prompt, and the keys will be encoded for you. Options such as "locked out of room," "something's wrong," "find supplies," and "feedback" can all be dumped into a pool of data inquiries.

I also happen to work as a hotel clerk supervisor, so yeah.
