There are 2 systems that hotel uses for their locks: Magnetic Stripe Key Card and RFID Key Card
There is a simple way to check whether you are using magnetic stripe card or RFID card;
1. Check if there is an arrow at the front;
2. Check if there is a black (sometimes brown, silver or gold) magnetic stripe at the back side.
If both yes, then it’s a magnetic stripe card. If you cannot see anything on the card surface – even if sometimes you can see an arrow on the front – you are using a RFID card.

These hotel key card function by running the magnetic stripe over a sensor that reads the contents of the strip and when it matches it permits access.
