Another consideration is the potential for privacy breaches. Smart door locks can collect data about guest movements and access patterns, and it is essential that this information is stored securely and not shared with unauthorized parties. The hotel should have policies in place to ensure that guest data is protected and only accessed by authorized personnel.
Also, hotel smart locks allow for easy access without the need for physical keys. Guests can unlock it with password, access card, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi or other smart devices, to unlock the door, making entry into the room more convenient and hassle-free. For example, hotels can set up access passcodes that expire after a certain period of time, which can be useful for managing room turnover.
