Your room key card only brings you to the floor (when in the lift elevator)you are staying in. (

Let me share additional information on this.
In Biz Hotel, you can walk up & down using the stairs but not for iHotel Baloi. The moment you leave the stairs, you will have to walk all the way down to the ground floor because all respective floor doors are one-way lock. That is can get out from the floor corridor but cannot come in. This is to prevent intruders from hiding in the stairs area to wait for the right timing to re-enter the respective floor. This model of security is similar to Singapore International Plaza building. I once attended a seminar at IP, 33rd floor. At break time, too many people crowded at one toilet and thought that by using the stair to the floor below, I don't have to wait for my turn. Never do I know, I have to walk all the way down to the ground floor. But I did not, I walk to 5th floor, enter the carpark, and use the carpark lift down to ground floor and took a lift up to 33rd floor again. I would agreed with you that it is good exercise and also a lesson learned.
As for bro wanting to stay in iHotel Baloi, you and your buddy will have to go down to the ground floor and together take a lift up to the respective floor again. Alternative is to call your buddy at the respective floor standby to open the stairs door for you each time you want to meet.
