A hotel employee has an implied right to enter rooms in certain circumstances. A waiter should, of course, knock and wait before entering. You fail to state whether you had placed an order for food or drink and the waiter was responding and whether or not the door was unlocked.
Nobody sues waiters. They are not well off and you could end up with a hefty bill at the end of the proceedings. Moreover, even if you sued the hotel on the basis of vicarious liability for the action of an employee, on what basis would you sue? What loss or damage did you sustain as the result of being found in an odd position?
It is more likely that you would tip the waiter generously to keep quiet about what he witnessed.

If you sue not only are you taking much needed money from the waiter but you are making him pay for having had to witness you in an odd position...
Furthermore a gain in money wont give you back any pride you lost by the embarrassment

Why didn't YOU lock the deadbolt? Why didn't YOU put out the "Do Not Disturb" sign?
Did you order room service? Did you hear them knock, or did they "not knock" as in knocked softly?
You can, but if I were the judge I'd laugh you out of the courtroom.

No you can't - at least I hope not. I wish people would just get over this 'can I sue' syndrome.
What was the "odd" position that this waiter saw you in? Were you practicing yoga? Doing exercises?

#1 Why did you not lock your door? It's as if you were asking this waiter to walk right in. Shamless if you sue based on that very shameless

No you can't. You are in their private business establishment. Just return the goat and go home.

SUE??? On what grounds?No, of course not. YOUR fault; why on earth did you not lock the door? That's what locks are there for, numbnuts.
