Do you disagree?
Oh! Think of the children!
Had my wife been in the room I would feel more for the intruder than her, especially once she shoved her curling iron in his eyesocket. It isn't like armed thugs are roaming the hallways of upscale boutique hotels looking for randomly unlocked doors. It would take a complete alignment of the stars for something bad to happen and you probably have more chance of having your airplane fall from the sky than some armed thief accost you.
This assumes no malfeasance on the part of the staff and that factor alone would motivate me to make sure the hotel knew. I could much more easily see "Hey Bob, leave the lock disabled on Room 3312 and I'll grab the guy's luggage before he comes back. LOL OMG"
