Over the past several years, we have seen some notable changes in the services and amenities offered by the nation\u2019s hotels. The booking site Reservations.com<\/a> predicts that travelers will see some surprising changes in the coming year.<\/p>

Recently, we have seen technology based changes including apps that allow travelers to check in, access their rooms without a keycard or key, and check out again, all without interacting with a live human being. We have also seen changes driven by the changing attitudes of travelers, causing hotel operators to shift features like free Wi-Fi from the category of perks to standard features.<\/p>

One of their predictions is that the industry will experience a retro-trend as live travel agents are becoming increasingly popular. Although there have been enormous advancements in automation, the industry is seeing a trend to bring back the human element for more custom-tailored experiences, the company said in a statement accompanying its predictions.<\/p>
