A recent survey by Mews found that three out of four travelers agree Americans are prioritizing travel more in 2024 and prefer a digital, self-service experience for their hotel stays. Nearly 80 percent of U.S. travelers favor hotels with fully automated front desks or self-service kiosks, and over 40 percent prefer checking in via a hotel’s website, app, or digital kiosk.
