Physical Abloy-style lock, not a "smart" lock.
Go see some cybersecurity type people, & see that they put physical security in place where they value real security.
ITIS ( Information Technology Information Systems ) has many vulnerability & attack-surfaces that "dumb" metal doesn't.
If you look, you will discover that there is a news-story about a company which did the hotel-locks for zillions of hotels in our world, that had a fundamental compromise in their design, & now everybody has to replace all those locks, but .. that isn't going to happen, is it?
IOW, criminality-industry was helped by all that "convenient" ITIS.
Please consider going with an Abloy Protec style physical-lock.
The Lockpicking Lawyer could get in, as could some of his equals, in mere minutes, but for the opportunistic-jackassery of normal robberies?
You can't EMP a non-digital-lock to kill it, can you?
There isn't a backdoor in the thing ( unless you multi-key it, but even then, with 21 iirc discs in the thing.. it's still locked )
etc.

Abloy mentioned, torille!
Not to be pedantic, commercial systems do go through lock replacements if they are budgeting properly.
A guest wouldn't notice unless they were watching maintenance teams replacing lock internal components.
BE pedantic. It's the rare company that has their BCP ready and a slush fund for bad decisions. The other 99.9% need to trim costs and, this year, withbeveryrbingnelse broken, swapping out the locks that really only a handful of people in Romania know abou--- NO CARRIER
