Artifact Overview
In many hotels and motels, electronic room keys replaced traditional metal keys attached to tags. These programmable plastic keycards can be reused, and there is no need for guests to return them if they are accidently taken home. Guests at a Sleep Inn used this convenient credit card-sized keycard in the late 2000s.
