"Our automated kiosks check guests in with a few key strokes and issue a secure RFID keycard to open their door equipped with dormakaba locks. dormakaba's electronic access system integrates with our property PMS and is secure, easy to use. All our guests value dormakaba's reliability. We have never had a guest report difficulty accessing their room."
