Even if there is no one in the room, this action is also to avoid the case of mistaken room number, wrong room card number that leads guests into an occupied room. If there are people in the room, the people inside will have time to prepare in advance for someone else to enter the room.

They are required to knock at least 2-3 times, if there is no response from the inside, they can open the door to the room.
