えっ、マジで？ちょっと貸して。あ、これ電池切れかも。フロント行って新しいの作ってもらってくるわ！

Seriously? Let me see. Oh, the battery might be dead. I'll go to the front desk and get a new one for you!
Gesture & etiquette
Take the key card from the friend, try inserting it into the door, and then shrug with a friendly smile.
Avoid using polite/formal speech as it sounds distant and unnatural for this relationship.
