You are the manager of a 150room limitedservice, allsuite hotel located off the interstate highway near a large metropolitan area. Kate Roessler is your executive housekeeper. Ms. Roessler asks you to go with her to inspect room 415, which is occupied by a guest, Mr. Barney.

Ms. Roessler explains that the guest has been checked in for 10 days and has had a Do Not Disturb sign on the door for all but two of those days. She asks you to view the room before it is cleaned because she says she is concerned for the safety of her housekeepers in their routine cleaning tasks.

Upon entering the room, you observe several ripped plastic baggies, money wrappers, large quantities of empty fastfood containers, a scale, and a pistol holster partially hidden under a mattress. You recall that this is the same man who arrived by cab to the hotel and paid cash up front for a twoweek stay.

• Outline the steps you would provide the housekeeping team to take for servicing Mr. Barney's room.
• Determine if the police should be contacted and explain why or why not - describe what legal aspects might be involved with regard to guests, employees, and property.
• Provide a rationale if the police asked to use the room next to that of Mr. Barney for an undercover operation, if would you allow or not allow them to do so. Describe the legal ramifications that would influence your decision.
