“My mother was upstairs and everything I thought was” I want to get to my mom. ” So I pressed close to the closed door.
“The door closed and he slid into the opening. It stuck on him. I didn't really know what to do. Immediately I thought I had to record this. I started calling my mom, but I didn't want to scare her either.

'Between the time he came to the hotel and got into the elevator, he took his belt off his pants.
“When he got into the elevator, he had a belt in his hand. I had something like: “Okay, is this man going to strangle me or pull out his pants?” He didn't really touch me. When he got into the elevator, I didn't press my floor number. I should probably have gone out.
“I said:” O you have a floor number to press? “And he said,” Oh no, no, whatever floor. ” I was afraid to show him that I was scared. So I pressed my floor number. '
“He was just behind me. The way he held the belt. You could see how he looked, there was so much intention. '
In the video you can see Chloe who enters the hotel room shortly after he had asked the man who had started walking for her at that time if he was in order.
She added: 'I knew he wasn't staying in the hotel. I started walking, he was literally on my shoulder. I stopped, he stopped and he started to walk ahead.
'My room is the very last room until the end of that corridor. I had no idea what was behind that wall. He keeps walking. Behind that wall was a staircase. He had no idea where I was going at this stage.
'Thank goodness my mother was in that room, because if I used my keycard to enter my room, he would have pushed 100 percent behind me. He is much stronger than me.
Chloe was flooded with messages from support and people thank her for talking about the scary situation
“I knocked on the door. That's when I asked, “Are you going?” That is when he goes back into the wall. I run my mom and I was like '' Mom, someone follows me '', so I had to call reception immediately. '
Chloe reported the incident to hotel reception and was told that a hotel employee had seen the man come in the hotel, but had assumed that it was her boyfriend.
She said: 'I hope after this story that they have extra security. This world is absolutely crazy. They looked at the security images and they couldn't find him.
'This happened a minute after two hours in the morning, we only went to sleep in half of five. We were so carefully careful and something has still happened.
“We could have done what more in that situation. Thank goodness my mother was there. This can happen to anyone. '

Ashley James wrote: 'Oh God, this is so horrible and I am so sorry. Just to say that even if you had not been 'safe', it would still not have been your fault and we blame them because we live in a society that victim blames women for our clothes, alcohol history, etc. instead of pointing the finger at men.
“And these men don't care what we wear. I really hope this is a wake -up call to hotels, because they really disappoint you. I hope you are doing well and hope they find this person to get him off the street. '

Someone else wrote: 'There is nothing more that you could have done, there are such dangerous predators on our streets, it sends shivers over my back! I am sorry to hear that this happened to you and I am so happy that you are doing well. '
A fourth said: 'So brave yours to share. It will help people to be more aware. You have done the right things right now. Thank goodness, your mother was in the room. '

Chloe wrote: 'Hello everyone, First of all, thank you very much for your friendly messages and comments towards me and my mother.
She continued to tackle a few things she saw in the comments: 'This was a young Irish man, probably between 18 and 22 years old. There was security at the hotel when I called them, but they did not do well to reassure myself during the situation.
'The staff the next morning was much more shocked and worried about what happened, but that is still not good enough. I personally think that all hotels must have a form of security to gain access to the building and use the lifts.
Chloe added: 'I don't want to reveal the name of the hotel yet, because I would rather treat that part first. This is also a reminder of all hotels to improve their security systems!
She concluded the update by saying: 'Everything has been reported to the guards, along with a video of his face. That's why I didn't shared it on social media. I don't want the focus now to shift to him.
'The more I think of what happened, the worse I feel. I just can't believe that young men think that this behavior is acceptable. '
