Her partner also woke and managed to throw the man out of the room before seeing him go straight into the adjoining one.
After reception staff were alerted, officers found the suspect inside the neighbouring room.
The man told police he did not know how he had ended up in the couple’s room and could not remember whether he had touched the woman.
