While most accidental/unintended intruders would just leave right away, some do not. Different people respond in different ways when surprised — whether the intruded upon or the intruder.

I do not intend to upstage this tale with my own, as the OP has already put this into the public domain. So with respect, I am speaking from experience thank you very much.
Anyhow this is all pure speculation, let us wait and see what the OP comes back and tells us.
See above, OP returned.
Great that you didn’t feel as terrified and vulnerable as angry. For those of us who have been in vulnerable situations and/or felt threatened with an intrusion or attempted intrusion during our travels, rushing for the towel, sheets and underwear is more a cultural product than a practical product for self-defense. I am speaking from experience too.
I did write that I use an on-the-floor door-stopper at hotels. People don’t start doing such things for no reason.
