Interesting interpretation, and highly plausible. Perhaps she had wanted to do so (her last night in LA and having seen evidence on the net of other people successfully doing so) go upto the roof. Maybe she didn't do it consciously but in a sleepwalking state. She may have made it there.
I still feel in my gut that it's foul play, but I could see how in that state and in this scenario, it might by some tiny chance, be an accident.
What if Elisa wants to go to the roof to watch the skyline. She opens the fire exit window but it makes some noise. Some cranky old guy comes out of his room, asks her what she's doing there and tells her to go back to her floor or else he'll call security. Elisa heads back to the elevator without wanting to actually use it. She's just pretending to leave the floor. That would explain why it almost seems like she's acting when she first enters the elevator. Her bluff doesn't work and the guy doesn't go back to his room. She argues with him. She's frustrated with his stubbornness. Finally, she convinces him to let her go.

A detail that has been bothering me: Just after the petting of the imaginary dog, a few frames are missing. You can see that her right arm suddenly changes position.
