For the business traveler who’s all about efficiency: check out these hotels that will get you in and out with a minimum trouble.

When you’re pressed for time on a business trip, nothing can infuriate you more than a slow hotel check-in process. On your next trip, try these hotels that offer a speedier check-in process.

◆ Marriott Detroit Airport

Another option for business travelers in a hurry: Marriott is rolling out its mobile check-in app to 325 hotels this year, including the Marriott Detroit Airport hotel. (I’ve tested the app itself but not for a real visit quite yet.) here is the basic idea: you download the iPhone or Android app. The night before, you can “check-in” virtually. When you arrive, you get an alert that the room is ready and your key, which is already tied to your reservation, is waiting for you at the desk.

◆Hyatt Regency Minneapolis

I happened to stay at this hotel recently and liked how fast the kiosk check-in works. The kiosk asks you to insert your credit card, similar to an airport terminal. The whole process took about 3 minutes. When I left, I was equally impressed with the fast check-out: An agent meets you in the lobby with, an iPad and asks for an email to use for a receipt. The big advantage: you never have to wait in line.

◆Radisson LaCrosse

The Radisson is trying to make the kiosk process even faster. At a few select hotels like the Radisson Lacrosse in Wisconsin，you use a mobile app to register and then receive a bar code by email or text. When you get to the kiosk, you can scan the bar code to get your key without any other steps required. It’s super fast. You can find this new check-in system at the Radisson hotels in Salt Lake City, Seattle, and Phoenix as well.

B

It was a delightful family reunion at our lake cabin in Longville, Minnesota. My parents came from their home to spend the summer reconnecting with three generations. It was a week of happiness that my mother enjoyed from her wheelchair.

Her six-year-old great-grandchild, Joy, seemed to understand she was fragile, and she would always slow down whenever she wa s close to her. She knew her arms weren’t strong enough to hold her, so she would lean gently into her lap and press her head against her chest. At night, after she was helped into bed, Joy would flash her sweet smile and hug her great-grandma for a goodnight kiss.

One day, the women decided to go into town for a ladies’ coffee outing. We campaigned for my mother to go with us. “No, no,” she said with her limited speech ability. But we kept insisting, explaining it wouldn’t be as fun and definitely not complete without her. When she finally agreed, we all cheered.

My daughters wheeled her to the van. I said to Joy, “Come on, Joy, jump into my car.” She climbed into my car and set her pink coin bag on her lap.

“Grandma, how much will my coffee cost?” she asked, concerned.=“Sweetie, it’s my treat. I want to celebrate you.”

“When you were my age, could great-grandma walk?”

“She sure could. She walked me to school. I remember my mother cooked at the stove and the smell of coffee mixed with the warmth of breakfast.”

“That’s why you’re so happy to bring great-grandma to coffee. You want to celebrate her,” Joy smiled.

We entered the Common Coffee and found a large table and then I went to the counter to choose our coffee flavors. It was wh ile I was waiting for Joy’s drink that I noticed her little hand reaching up to the counter to place her coins, 87 cents altogether.

“I want to celebrate great-grandma, too,” announced Joy.
