Sure, but I imagine the security guy checking in on you doesn't just say everything's okay and leave if you do that.

The idea behind forcibly stopping someone from barging into your room is to slow down the interaction and gain control.

The goal is then to establish identity, purpose, and ultimately deescalate. And then if need-be call the police and/or chargeback your credit card later.

Until otherwise verified, this intruder is no different than a random burglar breaking-and-entering in the middle of the night.
