I also had an issue several years ago where I could not get back in my room late one night. Went to the front desk and they gave me a new key card. Once I got back to my room I had a voice message from the front desk that my company credit card had been declined and could I please come to the desk to resolve it. I always assumed they intentionally disabled my key so I would have to go to the desk, but the night clerk did not realize it. Would they have done this?
