Reminds me some years ago at a company retreat at one of those brands, where we wanted to checks the OpSec of the hotel we were staying at, so I went up to the hotel lobby desk, said I was $NAME_OF_CEO and I had lost my hotel room key and my wallet is in the room, and they straight up gave a new card to me, without any sort of verification at all.

I had the same experience as the other person that replied to you. At the front desk - "Hi, I'm here to do some IT work, is manager around?" "Oh the server room is around the corner, it's unlocked." Didn't need the root esxi password because the IP and password were stuck to the sever with a sticky note.
