I can't say it your fault. Let us just say your expectations were a bit high?
However only I can best look after myself (save my wife). Once you accept this you will take safe guards to protect yourself.
While you correctly informed the 4 AM desk clerk, I think it is too much to expect in today's world for such small instructions thru at least THREE hands. Not going to happen , perhaps at super luxury hotels, yes.

I used to travel a lot and learned such things as I traveled. Made my life easier.
