Yeah ive seen this a couple times

Maybe your in a simulation

I mean... It has been a serious thought for a long time haha

It means they ran out of branded keys. Branded keys costs more but are typically brand standard. Most hotels keep a few boxes of these around for BOH or in case they run out.

Well if it is at least you coulda called it 😆

Wow really? I have stayed in a bunch of hotels over the years, just surprised I have never seen this. But that does make sense.

That's a blank rfid card. We usually use them to print employees ID.

This is almost certainly it. I've worked in quite a few hotels and thankfully only once had to break out the emergency box.

I stayed at this same hotel about a month ago and they had normal Best Western keys. So them running out is probably what is going on.

Are RFID cards the proximity cards in hotels? Because this is the blank card that opens my room door.

Polo hotel, Las Vegas?

Yep, Hotel GM here. Ive ordered them for many hotels.

Nope, a Best Western in Washington

This makes total sense. Just surprised I had never seen it before.

Yeah they are about the same but the ranges are different. Rfid can be scanned further away. I think you’re right, hotel usually uses prox card.

No tell motel?

No one would believe me if I told them anyways! This key isn't proving anything

Lotta sex be goin' on...
