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 remember hearing a shiur from R' Veiner from Monsey where he says to walk really slow as if the light isn't on so even if it does turn on it's lo nicha lei. i could be totally wrong though
https://www.torahanytime.com/#/lectures?a=42985
question is at 13.17I did remember incorrectly. he said that if you didn't know there is a light and it turned on, you should walk slowly so at least you don't get any benefit

If the hallway would be bright enough it would be a Grama on a Psik Reisha D'Lo Nicha Lei, which is at worst a double-Dirabanan, which is permissible B'Makom Mitzvah. According to some, it could be Muttar LeChatchilla. A dark hallway is worse since it's Neicha Lei. In that theoretical situation, is there a way to install a nightlight into the hallway to make it Lo Nicha?

Yup. That's exactly what I thought of, after the fact.

Perhaps we should make a dedicated thread listing all shabbatons/kosher catered? or does it belong here?
