Hotel Use? Since when? The entire America of three hundred fifty million uses these locks on internal doors as well as on the entrances of homes.
Those with the button are usually used in bathrooms. On the room doors instead of a button, there is a "butterfly" for locking. The same goes for the front doors, except that there it opens with a key (from the outside).
They are reliable (especially the Yale ones) and above all, you don't need keys for internal doors!
