I'm not much of a programmer (implementor?), but couldn't you alter the
description of the door in the first room so that when its open it mentions
that there is a doorman waiting inside it (for the room description). Door
and doorman are pretty close, so any attempt to examine the open door could
result in, for example,"inside the large open oak doorway waits a doorman,
immaculately dressed, etc". A bit quick and nasty perhaps, but it might work.
