Imagine the FD staff position if someone comes to them and says 'my colleague is staying here and didn't turn up for our meeting and I'm really worried that they're okay' then there's no answer to repeated phone calls to your room. If they had ignored this, and you'd been ill/incapacitated, they would be in very much more trouble than they are with you....impossible situation. Going to your room with the colleague to check is surely their only course of action.

If they just gave him the key to your room, then I agree with the very strong complaint to the GM - that's massively out of line.
Agree. I actually have experienced this from OP's coworkers perspective. I traveled frequently with a guy who was always very punctual. One time he missed dinner and was unreachable on his phone. I was able to go to his room and check on him with security. Luckily, he had just taken a crazy nap like OP and overslept his alarm.
