You have fallen to one of the many scams that go around. The hotel has no blame on this, you should have filed a police report immediately and requested the hotel to see if their security cameras saw anything. The mere fact that you allowed her to be with you while checking in and walk her to your room will clearly indicate in the eyes of any one nearby that she was with you, no reason for the FD clerk to think something is going on, besides, you mentioned exchanging name, therefore she knew who you where. To a mere outsider, there was nothing suspicious going on between the 2 of you. Never give your phone/keys/car/etc. to a stranger, never give your real name to a stranger, never give your home address to a stranger. Just never deal with a stranger. My # 1 rule of thumb, if I don't know you, I move on.
