Feeling physically worn out but mentally, I am so alert because of the scare I had over an hour ago. I came back to my hotel room after having dinner with my favourite client (soon to be ex-client) and found my bedroom door unlocked. The latch that you use to lock the door from inside was clamped between the door frame, thus preventing the door from closing and locking automatically.
I was very sure I had closed the door and checked that it was locked when I left earlier in the evening. Thinking that it was the housekeeper doing turn down service, I went into the room but found no one. Then it suddenly occured me that someone could have entered my room while I was away and could be hiding in the wardrobe/ behind the curtains/ in the bathroom, etc (I do have an overactive imagination). I immediatelytook my mobile phone and ran out of the room without a backward glance.
I contacted the Front Desk and they sent 2 guys up immediately to check the room for me and of course, to apologise. They said that from the security records, the housekeeper had gone into the room and forgot to close the door properly when she left. They left after checking the room and ensuring that I have not lost anything.
Pretty disappointed with the whole incident because JW Marriott Hong Kong is supposed to be a 5 star hotel... I don't expect this to happen here. Feeling kind of shaken by the incident... hope I can sleep tonight.
