Checkin in at the front desk is usually quick and fast. The staff knows you're going to be there because they already know that you are on the way since the shuttle has picked you up a the airport. Below is the metal detector. Sometimes it's effective, sometimes not. If they know you and you beep, you go through. If they don't know you, then you get to pass again. Up until this trip, the barricades were always up in front to prevent cars from driving in the hotel. So security is pretty lax right now. Contrast this to the Hyatt in Amman, Jordan where the suicide bomber hit 18 months ago, you can't get near the hotel in a car and there is a full x-ray of all items. If a person beeps, they go straight into the wand search and pat down before getting clearance to move into the walkway to the hotel entrance.
