Club Quarters Hotels Now Support Room Keys in Google Wallet
Key Features:
- Access room keys via Google Wallet on Android and Apple Wallet on iPhones.
- No need to download a separate app.
- Unlock rooms by tapping your phone on the door's access panel.
- Works even with a dead phone battery (for a limited time).
Availability:
This feature is currently available at all Club Quarters hotel locations. The hotel chain has properties in major US cities like Boston, Chicago, Houston, Philadelphia, New York City, San Francisco, and Washington, DC, as well as in London, UK. For other convenient mobile features, check out Quick Share for wireless file transfer.
Background:
Club Quarters previously offered digital room keys through their dedicated app, first introduced in 2017. This new integration with digital wallets eliminates the need for a separate app, streamlining the guest experience. This move towards digital key adoption aligns with other tech advancements, such as WhatsApp's introduction of personalized AI chatbots.
How it Works:
Guests receive their room key via email upon check-in and can add it directly to their digital wallet. This simplified process enhances convenience and efficiency for travelers. For those interested in other digital wallet features, Google Wallet is also rolling out passport ID support.
