I have good experience with drilling a small hole in the side of the housing and through the LED. You need to aim well. Its not a good technique for all annoying LEDs.

Sometimes the indicator LED acts as a voltage reference for some circuit. In that case, destroying it is a bad idea.

Also, I think most hotels would object ;-)

Only the cheapest of cheap electronics would use an LED as a reference.

Also, I dont bring a drill to a hotel.
