If instead, you have to wait for a member of security to retrieve the pass key & come up, it's a little better. If a locksmith has to be called in to drill out the lock, the safe is pretty secure.
I'm sure there are many types of these safes. Last weekend, previous room occupant checked out with safe locked. Maintenance man came up with some kind of handheld device that he either plugged in or transmitted to the safe wirelessly, it took him a few minutes to get it opened. It wasn't something quick that I'd expect a sneaky housekeeper to be able to do.
