A 31-year old woman from Washington experienced this during a business trip to Orlando Florida - because the hotel double booked her room and gave a drunken man a key to her room. She filed a lawsuit against the hotel and won $77,000. The hotel claims it was a compuer glitch. Don't let this happen to you - consider using a door alarm or a portable motion detector alarm.
