When I was in college, our dorms had a 'night desk' immediately after you entered the dorm to keep out criminals. Two people would sit there all night, and you had to manually 'check in' with them to be allowed to return to your room.

In actuality, it was a small rural college town with minimal criminal activity, and the night desk was used to catch, arrest, and fine college students returning to their dorm to sleep after a night of drinking.

Qatar will likely enlist hotels to police this law.
