What the Hell !
Pros:

Convenient.

Cons:

I was woken by a phone call at 4 30 am, I ignored the phone. A few minutes later a security guard knocked on my door .. all alone .. NOT ACCOMPANIED by a hotel staff member to inform me that there was a fire in my room .. I said no . I could not smell burning. Then he asked if I was using the shower?.. i said no and closed the door.
Very strange .
