Hotels are not the same as your home and besides, I don't travel with a gun. Walking in my house at night, unlocked, is not likely and usually the person will be saying hello. But I will still greet them with a gun.
My mindset to shoot and ask questions later, is based on sounds of forced intrusion. If you ring my door in the middle of the night, I will answer it with a gun, If I don't know you, you will be told to leave, without me openning the door. If the door gets jiggled after being told to leave, you might get shot through the door.
I have no desire to hurt anyone, but I leave very little chance for someone to hurt me or my family.

^^^ Yeah that....
Someone who is mistaken has a different demeanor than someone who is breaking in. They are as shocked as you. They are also embarrassed. The person breaking in won't react the same way.
As for a drunk person, they are drunk. Drunk people are never quiet. A person breaking in would be quiet.
You just have to access each situation as it happens. This is where knowing the laws for your state and what you can and can not do is so important.
