My related grumble is the hotel rooms where 1) the room key toggles on the electricity for the room but 2) the key slot is 7+ feet into the room. So turning on the power after it's dark outside requires this mad pilates lunge thing where you're trying to reach the key slot before the room door slams shut behind you, leaving you to stumble around in a totally dark room.

It's actually somewhat better at check-in because you can use a suitcase or bag to block the door open (and consequently let light in from the hall) until you grope your way to the key slot.
