No. Like, whether you want housekeeping to have access or not, they need to be able to get access because their job is cleaning rooms. Like, you wanting hotel staff to not have access to your room suggests to me that you just literally don't understand how hotels work. Particularly nowadays when afaik pretty much all hotel room keys are just electronic cards rather than actual metal keys. That's why you use the "do not disturb" sign so they don't actually use that access to go in.
We've just been talking about how I don't really want them to have access to my room and you've said I can already stop them getting in my room with the do not disturb sign. Then when I say them not even having the ability to get in my room at all would be preferable, you can't even understand how that would work or why I would ask for the because they need to be able to get into my room? Well... no they don't need to be able to, for the reasons already given right there. Also, rah has already explained how the electronic key system actually makes the idea more workable not less. I could have the ability to set some electronic "do not disturb" option (either from my room, or via reception or when booking) so that they literally can't get in without some management level override. That would be perfect actually. So it's completely workable, and makes perfect sense. So yeah... I don't believe you really don't understand that.
Also, for someone who's such a big fan of change and who is so anti-status quo, it's rather bizarre that your response to an idea for (as I see it) an improvement is just "well it is the way it is so deal with it". They need access to my room because they need access to my room, regardless of whether or not they're actually going to go in and whether or not I want them to, because reasons. Okay.
You just leave cash out in your room and they pick it up when they come to clean it, it's that simple
How does that work if I have my "do not disturb" sign up permanently? Also this is getting comically bizarre. I'm saying I don't really want people going in my room for various reasons, just one of which is that they could rob me. The "solution" to this is to just let them in my room and leave money out for them? Is that how you'd suggest dealing with burglars too?
Also, can I just reiterate that I just brought this up as a comment in a thread specifically about reducing privacy in hotels. As in... "well while we're on the subject I'd rather have more privacy actually".
Your habit of asking questions that have already been addressed in the post you are quoting while clipping those answers out of the quote is really annoying. Did you know that?
The bit I clipped out was you basically just saying "but you know that rule I just said? Well there's an exception to that". Obviously a big enough exception for you to think it worth writing a paragraph about how to deal with it.
