Room 27 Has No Guest

Two names. One key. No reservation should exist.

Work the hotel night desk when two visitors claim the same name and a room that is no longer a bedroom. A missing camera, a copied signature and a changed lobby display lead you to investigate with staff or keep the room closed until morning.
