A few days ago I was at the Grand Floridian Resort at Disney. It was a very nice room, but it had a commercial motion detector on the wall. At first, I thought it might be used as an occupancy sensor because the thermostat was parallel to the main room. At the end of our stay, I found a sentrol door button, commonly used on security systems. I’ve been in hotel rooms with door contacts on the sliding glass door for the A/C, but never on interior doors.
It was one that looked identical to this, yet the blue light did not appear
Of course there was no keypad anywhere, it was just very strange
That is unusual: typically hotels don’t have security systems (especially given how many partitions the system would need with all the rooms the average hotel has, not to mention probably being useless anyway due to robbers likely only hitting occupied rooms, which would likely have to be bypassed due to activity from the guests which could falsely activate the system, all of whom also would likely go to bed at different times, thus making a security system even more impossible to use. The only way I can see a security system working is if there was either a separate system for every single room (which would technically be impractical) or a single system could somehow only arm sensors in each room: in both cases the occupants would have to arm the system in each of their rooms at their leisure & disarm it every time they needed to leave the room, so maybe such a setup still wouldn’t be very practical).

Yeah, Like different partitions for each room I guess. Very strange.
Yeah: in any case I’d say a security system is largely impractical for such a building as a hotel, not to mention not really necessary (how many hotel break-ins do you hear about per year? Not very many I think).

Possibly, but it wouldn’t make sense to have a door button on the front door of the hotel room. You probably wouldn’t leave your door propped over for a long time.
