Someone once suggested to me that you should put the number of your hotel in your cell phone. That way, when this occurs, you just call them up and get them to send someone up with a new room key. Seems a little lazy to me, but I guess it does save you from panting...
Can't add to the topic on Marriott's with long hallways. I've been in a few Vegas hotels with really long halls, though.
