Perhaps it is this way all over Europe, but since our first experience was in Spain, I'm placing it here.For the first 10 minutes upon entering our room we thought we were given a room without power. None of the lights would turn on, the air conditioning wasn't on, and we were just about to give up until we noticed an interesting slot next to one of the light switches by the door.

And beware... your housekeeper may remove your air conditioning key while you're gone! We found this to be the case in several Spain hotels we stayed in.
