Most hotels have this unwritten policy, some before the Las Vegas shooting but definitely more after. It's also to check for dead bodies. Three people passed in 3.5 years where I worked...

Ive walked in on a few but never been walked in on......because I always hit the secondary lock. Always. This is not a brand specific problem but more of a living on the road thing.

And I'd sure be careful of fulfilling whatever deviant fantasy you may have in light of what happened to D.S.K. |

I had a family of four walk in on me. Their children were horrified when they ran in. 10 minutes later the front desk agent came walking in because she probably didn't believe the family. 10 minutes later the super did the same exact thing. I was more or less furious cause they could've atleast called before.

A few months ago I got the keys to an occupied room - at 1:00 AM check-in. Woke the guy up, we were both pissed, we both got 15,000 points for the screw-up.

I also get in the habit of using the chain or the security bar on my door at night for this very reason.

Unfortunately YES.
Just put the chain on. NBD. (ETA: I take that back; out of those ~2350 nights one time I did get a working key to someone else's room and he was in there.) |
I'm more concerned, based on my personal data, with hotel employees entering the room versus other guests. I've been told that only management and security should be able to use a key card to enter when the door has been deadbolted, but IME this has happened several times with hopusekeepers or a housekeeping supervisor (with clipboard rather than cart) being able to enter a room where I have used the deadbolt on the door. These situations were all in legacy Starwood properties if that matters. OTOH I've only once experienced the issue of another guest being assigned the same room and attempting to enter. That incident was handled very well by everyone but it was not a chain hotel. Also, maybe the most serious incident I've experienced along these lines was in a luxury hotel where I was given keycards and sent to my room, only to notice (fortunately I always check connecting doors and sliding glass doors to balconies and terraces upon arrival) that the connecting doors to the next room were unlocked and could not be locked. The front desk tried to reassure me that the party on the other side of the unlocked door was perfectly nice, but I refused to accept their reassurances and insisted that they find someone immediately with a key who could lock then connecting door. This was a somewhat well known iconic property in the British Isles where I had a PTS/FHR reservation. I was shocked that the hotel failed to take the situation more seriously. It still freaks me out. |
IIRC when you use the "magic key" to open latched door, it will be opened without warning that the latch is engaged. (not the door bar)
Never model lock might show different light combination though The door bar / chain is still preferred method to prevent accidental walk ins I believe. |
Sunday 11:30pm check into 4 points
Neither of 2 key cards received at check in will open room Go back down to FD and get another FDA who looks at the computer, does not ask me my name and gives me new key cards and apologizes for keys not working I'm tired and my radar was not working I should have figured out something was wrong I go back up to room, key card works this time and I walk in on a guy in bed, he starts yelling and cursing Go back down stairs an yes I was now ticked off and got the original FDA and I asked her why she give me an occupied room and she says it is not her fault...sheesh what an attitude Gives me new keys to a room beside the room I had walked in on and does not offer any apology Wake up the next morning and breakfast voucher under my door but no I'm sorry note. I'm on business free breakfast is mute point and apology is not mute. All I want is an apology.....wrote a note to Corp C/S they said they forwarded to hotel...heard nothing back to date No time to try to track down Hotel GM in 11:30pm and out 6am Hell yes I would take 15k points if offered, but an apology trumps any other compensation. |

Well, this is a disconcerting. Thankfully I usually use the latch or deadbolt when my room is occupied. Nevertheless, this has the potential for ending badly for people involved if this occurs to a guest that is a police officer or a lawfully armed civilian. At the very least, such a scenario will end up with the unexpected guest looking at the business end of WHAT the occupant is carrying.
