Yeah, just being in the same hotel with colleagues presents the potential for disaster.
Sometimes not even P4P or "your" colleagues technically speaking, just awkward.
Depending on your circumstances I'm sure many of you have visited another division within your co., visited a vendor or customer's home offices, etc. and their offices are kind of out of city center and there is one or two business class hotels around. Your contact says, "we always stay at xyz." (maybe even offers a code or something for the preferred rate)
I've learned to be real careful in those places and keeping a low profile, even if it means just ordering room service. You need to act like every other guest you may run into will be sitting across from you at a conference table the next morning. It is amazing how much trouble one can get themselves into making relatively harmless small talk with the tall leggy woman down in the lounge....
