We'd had the maid knock on the door in the past. Always startling, but not the end of the world. In that case, we'd just tell her the room was occupied, she'd go away and we'd make sure the "do not disturb" sign was on the door.
They're supposed to knock before entering a room. They should whether there's a "do not disturb" sign or not. They should also be absolutely sure the room is vacant before just walking in. And it would be very easy to do that by, oh, just looking at their own systems.
It wasn't the maid either, I remember it being a male member of the hotel staff. We had the impression he thought the room was vacant.
Why would a male member of the hotel staff just be walking into rooms? He's not cleaning, right? What was his reason for coming into your room? (I'm not expecting you to answer. Just posing the question.)
It was deeply unsettling, but nothing bad came of it. I was able to get back into the right head space and enjoy the rest of the session, after my heart stopped pounding.
I'm sorry it happened to you. It would be very unsettling to me. You assume you have privacy...and you actually don't.
Where we are as a society, with surveillance and data sharing and entitlement to every details of our lives they can extract or predict, I wouldn't feel comfortable running scenes in a hotel room.
