Hotel Assigns Me to an Already-Occupied Room
They Let Another Guest in My Room! Compensation?
Uninvited Guest
Mayhaps these can be combined into one "Master Thread: Hotel Assigns Me to an Already-Occupied Room" thread

Please name the hotel. It does no good to post this without naming the hotel to allow readers to choose to avoid it if they choose.

Was there anything good in the other person's room?

I went to get rekeyed yesterday at the Aloft in Franklin,TN (late checkout though they had told me earlier it would not be necessary) and the clueless desk clerk gave me the key to another guest's room. Of course the key did not work in my door (room 629). I went back downstairs and the guy insisted that I was indeed in 412 and that I should try it again. What? I gave him my ID again and it finally got straightened out but it made me think twice about staying there again.

You are cleared to rant.

This was ALSO at an Aloft (SAT), so maybe this is an Aloft issue.
BTW, no compensation sought or offered. I considered it to be a harmless error since I was the one entering. I ALWAYS keep my door latched when I'm inside, ever since someone else got a room key and entered in my presence at HR SFO. I guess it's a HR issue too!

I had the same experience at CY Marriott in Sacramento 6-7yrs ago. Pretty sure the female intruder was there for work travel and found it quite shocking to see me there. In hindsight, I should have stopped doing jumping jacks and reached for the towel. 
I went to scream at the bimbo working FD but 25y.o. myself ended up asking her out for a drink.
Should have asked for points.
