Would it be easy to seat up a password username combo say based on room
number and billing address zip code or city? (i.e. when the front desk
clerk enters the information into the computer have generate an email
containing the information for username and password and length of stay and
automatically foreward it to firewall or other system that would read the
information and automatically create an account that closes say 4 hours past
checkout time.
This would give the guest a grace period to extend their stay.)
This may be a dumb idea. Perhaps the firewall isn't the system to
have the password access on, but it should be a hotel system i would think.
