@adventurouskate: 🔐 Locked Out in Kazakhstan Have you ever stayed at a hotel with no on-site staff? They are becoming more and more popular these days. With no staff, they see you a code in advance, and you may also pick up keys in a lockbox. If you needed a human, you were instructed to text them on your phone via WhatsApp. I stayed at Urban Yurt in Almaty, Kazakhstan — a place that I really liked for the most part — EXCEPT for the lack of staff. Because I locked myself out of my room — WITHOUT MY PHONE. I had to ring every bell in the building to find a guest who was in the hotel and could text the staff for me. This is the story. Have you ever stayed in a hotel with no on-site staff?
