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 [news.com.au] may be an indication of what hotels will be like in the future.

If this catches on, how many other hotels will switch to automated service to save money on staff wages?
