Dan's AC sensor override (VIP mode) instructions 
Most hotels in Hawaii have an Inncom thermostat. 
To enter VIP mode:
-While you are holding "display"
- Press "off", then
- Press "Up" arrow
-Then release "display"
You still can't open/close the balcony, (It still displays if the balcony is open or closed, but it lets the AC run while the balcony is open.)
 but the AC will run if you leave it open and you won't be trapped in your room.  Plus you can also set the AC to lower temps in VIP mode.

Ideas to enter hotel rooms with electronic locks
-Many like to just tape down the latch hole to ensure easy access  (simplest way is to tape the key card over the hole)
-some will just stuff the hole with tissues (you run the risk of it slipping out)
-on cruises, and some hotels, you can use one of those thin refrigerator magnets, put it on the door jamb to cover the hole where the door latch goes.
-others rely on the poskim who allow you to ask a goy (see above)
-exterior portable lock http://www.thexlock.com/
and then there's the best one yet
-Haven't tried it at a hotel but on a cruise I tied a gartel to the inside door handle and left a little sticking out the bottom of the door. I just had to pull the gartel and the door opened. :)

I had plenty of ID, but it wasn't a passport so they didn't accept it.
How long ago did this story happen?

My Family will be at the Hyatt House Philadelphia/ Plymouth Meeting hotel this coming weekend for a mini mid-winter getaway. It is 1:20 hours from Lakewood, and  about 2 hours from Brooklyn and Monsey. We need 2 more men for a minyan. We will have a sefer torah and conference room for davening. 

Nearby attractions for kids include Legoland Discovery center, Urban Air, ice skating and some nice malls. Its also not far from Philadelphia.

Rooms start at only 3500 hyatt points from a one bedroom suite and 6500 for a 2 bedroom suite. All suites have kitchens and hot plates & cocks pots are permitted.

Please PM me if you you will be there to confirm we will have a minyan.
