She called the front desk and they sent up security - it took 20 min. for security to come to her room. She made the front desk clerk stay on the phone for the duration because she was so freaked out.

The security officer that came to her room said that no key cards had been used to open her room since she entered her room earlier in the evening and she said that she had noticed earlier that the door did not close on its own and required some force on her part to make sure the door was fully closed. She felt like they were blaming her.
Not to make accusations but 20 minutes for security to show up? I could change out of a hooded sweatshirt and back into a security uniform in 20 minutes. I wouldn't be surprised if this wasn't an inside job. Call the cops and the GM.
