I mean who doesn't have a smartphone, plus the clocks have an alarm.

These confuse me.

Followed closely by those checking out in person. Just leave - they e-mail you the receipt.

Doesn't help when the front desk asks every-time you walk past. "Ready to check out?" while I am carrying a tiny tray of yogurts, bananas, bagels and coffee back to my room.

Because 99% of the time I stay in a hotel I'm so far gone I couldn't find the buttons to push on my phone anyway. Easier for someone else to just wake me up.

I see this everytime I'm at a hotel. I think some people haven't stayed at a hotel since they were kids where they saw their parents check out at the desk and think thats what you do.

"Hey, Siri. Wake me up at ten."

Why is everything in the room modern and nice but the clock radio is always straight out of the 1980s?
Same answer, actually. Lots of travelers are really old.

It has to be large and bulky to disguise the Chinese camera that is in it recording your sexual escapades.

So you have something to create a topic about on a message board.

Corn Pop tried that with his flip phone, didn't work.

There was a time, not that long ago, when smartphones didn't exist.

I would think these days, the wake up call is used more for backup in case the alarm doesn't go off for whatever reason, or you turn it off instead of hitting the snooze

Because you touch yourself at night.

I laughed

Anyone can take a reservation, but it is the holding of the reservation that is the important part.

If OP wants a serious answer:

Same reason there is Braille in the elevator.

Some hotel guests are hearing impaired, and the telephone ringing is a lot louder than their phone alarm, so they ask for a telephone call.

I was glad I in-person checked out last time I stayed in a hotel and they got the tax calculation wrong. Those 10 minutes saved me about 3 weeks of calls emails and such.

They also still have clock radios.

Because some people still use them!!

Takes me ten seconds to stop and tell them I'm leaving and throw my room keys on the counter. Then I know they can start cleaning the room early.

Early clean times mean earlier check in availability for someone else. I know that when I travel it's nice to be able to check in a little early if needed and go up to the room for half an hour to refresh.

But then again, I don't watch band videos and I'm a considerate human being.

you know most hotels let you do the same thing from their app. You can even do it walking to the elevator. Super hard Though old man.

Because if there is any dispute with the bill I want to dispute it right then and there and in person.

When you Goto a restaurant would you just give them your card and say hey just email the receipt after I leave ?

Half the time I find room keys in my pockets when I get to the airport. No one cares about room keys.

i just want to know who is insane enough to unpack their clothes and put them in the drawers at a hotel

receipt? Lol.

Please, it's called a folio.

Those of you with door keys need to up your game and stay at a hotel that is in the 21st century with mobile keys.
No going to the desk to check in, let alone out.

I checkout on the app. I get late checkout anyways due to status so if I leave earlier than the late checkout, I will make sure to do it on the app, or just let housekeeping know if they are on the hall. Also you can view your charges on the app if you are worried about anything. But typically in my 15 years of near permanent travel, they have rarely gotten my bill wrong and it has always been taken care of immediately when I have called. Most hotels now I can skip front desk and use my phone to check in and as my room key.
