I’m not making this up, I promise. I mean, I don’t have the imagination strong enough to make these type of things up.
Earlier today, I go to my hotel room and I was locked out. For some reason, the access card that gives me access to my room stopped working.
So, I walk back towards the elevator as there’s a phone on the wall. I pick it up and it connects me right away to the front desk.
So, I say:
“Hi, this is Leesa from Room 100. I’m locked out of my room.”
So, the front desk says:
“Okay, we’ll send someone up. Please wait by your room door.”
So, I head back to my room door and wait. About 5-minutes go by and fully frustrated, I go back towards the elevators to call the front desk on the phone.
“This is Room 100 and I’m still waiting to get into my room.”
To which the woman at the front desk said:
“Oh, security tried to get in touch with you. They called your phone, but you didn’t answer.”
They’re not talking about my cellphone as it doesn’t work here in London (something about not having a SIM card). They were talking about the phone in my locked room. In other words, answer the phone in my locked room and then security would be assured that I was indeed the person that needed my door unlocked.
Like I said, I can’t make this stuff up.

What´s up with this place – I was locked out this morning – and I tried to twitter for help, noone came 😉 so I had to – like Jason – go down to the reception as well for a new card .
I was locked out of my room last night as well (although a different hotel and it was my own fault). I went to the desk and told them I was locked out of room 115. Without any checking of my name or ID, they handed me another card–equally disturbing.
