TL;DR
Check outlets, cleanliness, and key card immediately at check-in. Report issues to the front desk — they typically swap rooms within an hour or send staff to fix the problem.
The hotel administrator personally walked the guest through around 4 different rooms to choose from at check-in. No extra charge was required.
If outlets are broken or the room is dirty, report it to the front desk immediately — a replacement room is usually offered within an hour.
The card used to activate electricity in the room slot is not always the same as the door key — they can be different cards. Clarify this at check-in. If locked out, contact reception via WhatsApp; staff will come, but expect up to 40 minutes wait.
