The rise and rise of cheap hotels has bred a new variant of smart hotel where the door and the room can be controlled by a mobile phone application. With no room service, selectable coloured interior lighting, no fridge, and no door key Mi-Pad in New Zealand may be an indication of what hotels will be like in the future. With a smartphone app to control the front door, lighting, order room service, room temperature, and message other guests the hotel truly offers self service. If this catches on, how many other hotels will switch to automated service to save money on staff wages?

This is how it should be
There's a place like this in my home town. Book, get code, enter, stay, leave.
It's a pity the room facilities didn't match the description but that's the hotel business for you

You should see the show "Hotel Impossible." The descriptions that the owners give their respective shit-holes makes me wonder if some people really do live in a parallel dimension. The only thing better is when they react to the bad reviews as Anthony reads them.
