How do you get into your hotel room without a key?

For a while now - hotel rooms have stopped using keys, and have changed the locks to card readers. Not sure exactly how this makes the guest's life easier. I guess it makes the hotel's job easier, because there are no keys to store and manage. If a card is lost - no problem, just reset the door and program a new card.

At Great Wolf Lodge (at least the Grand Mound, WA location) - they took the room key situation and made it even better. Better - at least if you are visiting a water park, and you don't know what to do with the room key/card while you are swimming.

Your park entrance entrance bracelet also works as your room key. Very nice!




One issue - only the adult bracelets have the room key RFID. I guess this isn't a problem - it just means the kids have to stay with their parents....
