During my stay, the hotel had recently installed a new keyless card system for the rooms. Unfortunately, this system clearly does not work properly. On two separate occasions, two different guests were able to open my room door using their own cards. One of these incidents happened at 4:30 AM, which was extremely frightening and unacceptable.
