It was an awkward situation because (as I later found out) she couldn't speak or understand English!
Originally I waited outside the hotel, then she (or maybe her translator: she was using 3 mobile phones) texted me to come on up. Then she gave up on me because she didn't wait for the few minutes I needed to get in threre, summon a lift, go to her floor, and walk down the corridor. I got a text in the lift asking where I was, then no response when I knocked on her door, then a text telling me to come back later!
Hence my determination to stay close to her door (not right outside, but at the end of the corridor) while getting texts such as "10 more minutes pls". I didn't want to miss my slot again.
Then I had to try to tell her what I wanted....
Not an experience I would care to repeat!
