Guest Room Mobile Key Access

We’re excited to announce with OpenKey, the industry standard for universal mobile key access, that we are now offering our guests the convenience of digital key room access via OpenKey’s app.

OpenKey is helping to reinvent the hospitality experience by allowing guests authorized and secure access to their hotel room from their smartphone or mobile device. Our guests now have access to their rooms and additional conveniences to customize their stay via the app.

“We are very excited to be working with The Godfrey Hotel Boston to implement mobile key technology at such an iconic property. Guests can download the app directly onto their mobile device, check in on their way from the airport and go straight to their room while enjoying the convenience and security of smartphone room access.” – Brian Shedd, OpenKey Vice President of Sales and Marketing.

With the recent release of OpenKey Version 2.0, our guests are able to manage their check-in, call the front desk directly, confirm their identity with an ID capture for security and send their estimated time of arrival (ETA) to the hotel.

“We want to provide the very best digital guest experience possible. The hotel industry is evolving and technology has a big role in that. We are excited to work with OpenKey and have a partner with a hospitality technology platform that supports our needs and can be implemented into our existing BLE locks.” – Justin Tait, Godfrey Hotel Boston Director of Operations.

The OpenKey app is available to download in the iOS App Store and Google Play Store.

We look forward to welcoming you and hope you enjoy this new tech-savvy amenity.
