Available today worldwide to all hotels across all segments, from full-service and luxury to boutique and select service
Mobile Key by OpenWays is a hotel front-desk bypass solution that lands guests in rooms quicker through the use of any cell
phone, as all of the 6+ billion mobile devices in the world can be used as a room key to unlock the guest room door.
How it Works? Guests will give the hotel their smartphone number and download the
OpenWays app.
Two or three days before arrival, they’ll receive a text message
containing their room number and a unique encrypted sound code
that they’ll use to unlock their hotel-room door.
The code will work once and then reset itself.
