Client Overview

Crown Prince Hotel Logo

Crown Prince Hotel is a mid-sized hospitality establishment located along Kojo Thompson Road. Recently renovated under the management of Mr. Ohene, the hotel sought to modernize its operations and improve both guest experience and internal security. With rising cases of room theft, unauthorized guest extensions, and inefficient manual record-keeping, the management needed a reliable, technology-driven solution to streamline hotel operations and minimize losses.

The Challenge

After the renovation, Crown Prince Hotel faced several operational challenges:

Hotel Challenges

Security and Theft Prevention

Instances of missing items and unauthorized room access raised concerns about staff accountability and guest safety.

Guest Monitoring and Data Management

The hotel had no centralized system to log guest check-ins, durations of stay, or payment histories.

Payment Enforcement

Guests who delayed or refused payments could not be effectively monitored or locked out, leading to revenue losses.

Operational Inefficiency

Manual record-keeping consumed staff time and often resulted in inconsistent or lost data.

Mr. Ohene wanted a comprehensive, automated system that could:

  • Monitor all guests in real time
  • Securely manage room access
  • Integrate with payment enforcement and customer tracking systems

The Gold View Solution

To address these needs, Gold View implemented a Smart Hotel Management and Access Control System tailored specifically to Crown Prince Hotel's operations.

Smart Door Lock System

We installed smart electronic door locks across all guest rooms. Each lock is operated using a custom-designed wooden key card, which offers a stylish yet secure access method that aligns with the hotel's aesthetic.

Wooden RFID Key Card

Unique Card Access

Each guest receives a programmed wooden key card that grants access only to their assigned room for the duration of their stay.

Automated Lockout

Once a guest's stay expires or payment is overdue, the card automatically deactivates, denying further room access.

Audit Trail

Every room access event is logged in real time, allowing management to monitor entry and exit times.

Hotel Management Software

Gold View developed a custom software platform that integrates directly with the smart lock system.
