I can see this story is taking an unpleasant turn.
Let's get something straight you jerks - THE LADY HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE PRESENCE OF THE BOYS AND GIRLS IN BLUE!
NOTHING! Got it?
It was an unfortunate alignment of the stars.
She was just a player in the scene

#4: "She was just a player in the scene...." Let's see ... you, the cops, the hotel, and the provider. Her "play" was not responding to your attempts to communicate with you with the consequence of you walking into a "scene" in which LE was waiting for "something" to occur, which happened to coincide with your arrival at an yet unknown hotel.
