Kim Hutchison, one of the guests, reported waking up to find a shirtless man wearing only shorts standing at the foot of their bed. The incident left the guests feeling unsafe and distressed.

Following the event, the couple expressed significant concern regarding the hotel's ability to secure guest rooms.
