Police say Caldwell and a man were seen falling down while walking to their room. They also had trouble getting into their room.
The employee saw one child get out Caldwell's car and go inside, according to the criminal complaint.
Police did find two children asleep on the floor, one who appeared to be sick.
The officer noticed a blueish white substance coming from Caldwell's nose. Caldwell then admitted to police she had just snorted Xanax pills.
