Ding, ding, ding... we have a winner! No more calls, please.

Hotels and their outsourced providers, should not be considered trusted connections.

It's not a matter of anyone being "okay" with it, but you are inherently subjecting yourself to the trustworthiness of people you don't know.

Now, I would bet that if you picked random people off of the street and asked them "would you hold my wallet for a few minutes while I go do something", that most of them would be trustworthy. But, would you really like to run that experiment?
