Hilton Hotel Card Key, 2000-2010

Summary

Electronic keycards provide guests with access to their hotel or motel rooms. These credit card-sized plastic keys have replaced traditional metal keys. And there is no need to return these keys if you accidently walk away with them -- lock codes change and keycards have to be recoded. Guests to a Hilton Hotel used this keycard in the early 2000s.
