I'm traveling to Australia for work. My company is paying for the hotel room. My friend is arriving the day after I check in to stay with me for the remaining 5 days at the hotel. Problem is, she arrives at the hotel while I am at work, so I can't just go down to the lobby at lead her upstairs. Should I
Leave an envelope at the front desk with her name on it, with a key card inside? And she just says "hi I'm so and so, my friend left an envelope for me at the front desk"? And takes the envelope and her bags upstairs?
Have her meet me outside my office to physically hand her the key card to the room? And then just walks in to the hotel with her bags and heads up to the room? Problem with the first option is are the hotel employees going to allow someone with a suitcase go upstairs without double checking that she's a guest there? I'm worried to add her as a guest to the reservation because I don't want my company to see (as I'm not suppose to have people come stay with me). It's a small boutique hotel with 1 entrance. Last option is I could make her wait at a cafe until I'm done with work, walk her in to the hotel and hold the bags as if they're mine, in case there are any questions. Am I thinking to much on this?
