Worst Experience Ever!!! DO NOT STAY HERE!!!
My friend and I stayed at this hotel for 2 nights in Mid August 2007 before catching our Contiki Tour.
All was okay at check in. One thing that was a little sketchy was that the keys are on huge key chains so, they want you to leave your key at the hotel every time you leave. Having worked at many hotels in San Diego, CA, I felt a little unsafe having a key that you had to drop off at the front desk every time you left the building. So, like everyone else, before going out on the town, we left our key with the front desk.
Our first night went well but the second was a nightmare! Upon returning to our hotel at 2am, we went to the front desk to pick up our key from the night shift person. The night shift person was not there. So, we reached over the counter and picked up our key. We went up to our room and opened the door to find THE NIGHT SHIFT PERSON GOING THROUGH OUR PERSONAL STUFF WITH MY WALLET IN HIS HANDS!!! We were completely confused and caught off guard. After we realized that he was the night shift person and not some random guest at the hotel. We kept him in the room and made sure he had not taken anything. When we asked him what he was doing he responded "I got a report that there were drugs in the bags in room 708(our room)." This statement was totally bogus and made no sense to me because in the states it is illegal to go to someone’s room and go through their things without having a warrant and police escort.
In the morning when checking out, we asked to speak to the manager. My thoughts were "this guy is going to get fired...the manager is going to be so thankful that we told him what happened…etc. But, when the "Manager" came out and we told him our story he said, "The night shift employee already reported this to me. He had to check your bags for security purposes." I was SHOCKED!! The night shift person and the manager were both the same nationality, probably related, and in on this kind of scheme together!!!
