“They have a very basic policy in place, and for whatever reason, that policy wasn't followed,” she said. “Their failure to void a lost key caused her to be sexually assaulted, and so that is negligent conduct.'
"It was something that was completely preventable," said the woman’s attorney, Anna Greenburg of Houston-based Blizzard Law. "This is a case where a hotel failed to provide basic security to one of its hotel guests. And unfortunately, it resulted in my client being sexually assaulted."
At one point, one of the women noticed the 21-year-old, referred to as "M.W." in the lawsuit, appeared very intoxicated. She offered to help M.W. up to her room. The two women were in M.W.’s room when a man from the hotel bar allegedly found M.W.’s old key and used it to come into her room as well. He said he wanted to help, but the woman assisting M.W. told him to leave. She made sure M.W. was okay and then left as well.
