SYSTEM FOR INDICATING THE STATUS OF A HOTEL OR SIMILAR ROOM

摘要

A system is described which replaces conventional "do not disturb" and "maid service" or "housekeeping" signs in hotel guestrooms. The system comprises means for allowing a hotel guest to choose, from within the hotel room, a message to convey to hotel staff and others such as "do not disturb". The message is expressed by indicators housed within assemblies located outside of the hotel room, which are visible to passers-by. The system may also convey such messages to a more remote location such as a housekeeping office and the switch may be activated remotely.
