Having rung the doorbell repeatedly, knocked, etc, I used my master keycard to enter (making my entrance very obvious) to discover the three men passed out drunk in various locations around the room ... one had managed to find his bed.

As they needed to make their flight I managed to rouse them all eventually ... they all sat up and looked at me in their drunken confused states ... and I thought "Great. They're awake ... no more problems."

Apparently as soon as I left they all lay back down and started snoring again ... only to wakeup six hours later (roughly when their flight to Australia was landing) ...

Ooooopppppssssss .... sometimes drinking and flying don't mix.
Great story !! ^
