Can I Use My iPhone Instead of a Hotel Key Card?

It really depends on your hotel. Some chains let you use your phone as a room key, while others don't, and even within chains, it varies by location. Usually, if they do support it, you’d need to have their hotel app installed to make it work. Unfortunately, you can't just upload any hotel key card to your phone like magic.

First off, check if your hotel actually supports using mobile keys. If they do, you should be set! But don't forget — you'll need their app to get started.

Honestly, it might still be simpler to just carry the plastic card. But if you literally have no pockets, then definitely look into whether your hotel offers mobile access.

If your hotel allows it, then you're in luck! Otherwise, a tip: consider getting a MagSafe wallet for future travels. Just a bummer to hear you forgot yours at home!

Only if your hotel supports that feature, yes! If they do, just remember the app is key to making it all work.
