Smart Property
Make every arrival
guest-ready.
The first 10 minutes of a guest's stay will set the tone for the entire stay.
Host Sidecar connects secure guest access and the right temperature to every stay—eliminating manual setup, smoothing check-in, and making the property easier to run for guests and property managers alike.

From booking through checkout. The property is set up to run smoothly, securely, with less manual work.
Smart Lock Setup
Secure arrivals, without the manual setup.
Host Sidecar helps connect a compatible smart lock to the stay, so guest access is created automatically, shared at the right time, and disabled when the stay ends. It reduces key handoffs and manual code setup while helping guests arrive smoothly and the property stay secure.
A connected smart lock gives each guest the right access at the right time—without manual code setup.
Reservation-based access
Each stay receives its own guest code automatically, based on the rules you choose—including a memorable format such as the final four digits of a guest’s phone number where supported.
Access on your schedule
Codes activate before check-in and expire after checkout according to your property policy, without manually creating and sending each one.
A clearer view of access
Access activity, code history, and device status stay easier to review in the connected platform.
No battery surprises
Low-battery alerts give the right person time to replace batteries before they become a guest issue.
Guest access follows the stay.
Set the code format and access timing once. Each reservation follows those rules automatically.
