That's definitely a change from my days (early 2000s). Giving out direct station numbers was a major no-no. I wonder if it's the real number, or just some telephony that links to a vmail box or another res desk. I wouldn't put too much stock in the caller ID, it's easy to spoof that with our antiquated SS7 phone system.
