A. I don't appreciate being seen by strangers while I don't have clothes on
B. If I wasn't in my room at the time, they would have had full access to all of my belongings
I am lifetime plat... Never had this one happen. Any suggestions?
Why didn't you have your door bolted / chained? They couldn't have walked in
accidentally with a normal key had you done that? (But emergency services, perhaps assisted by the front desk, still could have.)
Anyway, I've been on the other end of this
several times over the past decade (in different hotel programs, because it has nothing to do with any specific hotel program), where
I've been issued keys to already-occupied rooms. That's with about 170 nights (and 100+ stays) in hotels each year.
Since I do bolt & secure the chain always (unless once in a whille I forget), I can't tell you how many times I might have been on the receiving end had I not done that. I've definitely at least once been on the almost-receiving end when someone was trying to get in my door but couldn't because of my deadbolt, and it turned out that they had been issued a key to the room I was already in. (I heard them trying to get in my door, and opened it to ask what was going on.)
