If only hotels would have one or more mains sockets with coloured
inserts that are powered when the key card is removed from the slot by
the door.


I've not come across that very often and, when I have, the hotel has
usually supplied two key cards, one of which simply stays in the slot.
Otherwise almost any similarly shaped bit of card or plastic will do.

Confuses the cleaning lady who may wonder if you are ever going out:-)
