3 Benefits of Having Hotel Access Control

Learn how access control from Home Technology Experts makes your hotel even safer

Hotels are always trying to improve the experience they present to their guests. From effortless check-in and 24/7 service to pristine pools and on-property restaurants, there are many ways for hotels to enhance the guest experience. As a hotel owner or manager in Manhattan NY, there’s another way you can improve your guest’s stay as well as the security of their rooms: installing hotel access control.

Now, in addition to providing all the amenities a guest could ask for, you can give them peace of mind too. Here are the top three benefits of adding access control throughout your property.

1. INCREASED SECURITY

Installing a reliable and robust security system is one of the most important features of any hotel. The influx of people makes it a prime location for thieves. However, a security system with access control helps keep unauthorized individuals from roaming around the hotel or entering a guest’s room. Furthermore, it also prevents guests from entering staff-only areas.

Access control ensures greater peace of mind too. Now, guests can slip an access card in their purses or wallets and not worry about losing a standard key. And if they lose it, it’s easy for your staff to provide a new one. In addition, it’s a hassle to depend on guests to return a key at check-out time. Now, they can simply leave the card in their rooms, or if they leave with it, that’s not a problem either. Replacing the card requires minimal cost, and it’s easy to reprogram. 

2. IMPROVED LUXURY

Increased security also brings a sense of improved luxury. Those who stay at your hotel expect an experience that’s the same, if not better, than what they get at home. The beds should be comfortable, the room clean, the food fantastic, and the security flawless. Since most people use some form of smart technology, it’s important to offer that in your hotel as well. After all, those who live in smart homes can control many devices in their homes with just a tap of an icon on their smartphones or smart home tablets. An access control system with a key card, or even a door that can be unlocked with a smartphone, creates a luxurious experience. 

3. CENTRALIZED CONTROL 

Do you need to remove a guest from the premises? It doesn’t happen often, but sometimes it’s a necessity. If so, with hotel access control, you can disable their key card or device so that they cannot return to a room. Perhaps you need to monitor the rooms in your hotel or determine which guests are where. Access control allows you to get a general headcount of everyone on your property. In the event of an emergency, if you have smart door locks, you can also lock down certain areas of your hotel to ensure the safety of your guests and staff.
