Hi I know this might be a silly question but how I can find out if the hotel lift requires key card in advance when I book?
Thing is I like to have guests directly to my room and I don’t have to go downstairs to pick them up. Obviously hotels will vary on this and I just feel a bit weird calling them asking this?  |

On TripAdvisor you can ask the question and somebody who has stayed there may answer.
Though we've not stayed at one, apparently to access the rooms at a Campanile hotel you don't have to go past reception, the rooms are accessible direct from the car park. |

Seems common to need a key card at premier inn now, not so much at travel lodge and campanile are all mor style straight onto the car park
Always varies though especially in the city |

If you have the time, pop into the hotel and try the lifts yourself. Just act like you're meant to be there. A cheery smile to reception works wonders! If it needs a key card - pat your pockets, look exasperated and 'go to your car to get it'  |

Haha yeah that’s true, but mostly I just book online for other cities, so probably a bit difficult to do on-site research
Well next time when I’m in any city I can just randomly walk into some chain hotels and have a check |

Generally the newer chained hotels we find you need a room card for the lift, older hotels not so much. For example, we stay at the Aston Court Hotel in Derby, it doesn't even have a lift, you just walk past reception and up the stairs. |
