I feel like I need to share what happened during my stay because of how poorly it was handled. It’s long, but I’ll try to make it concise. After a very smooth check in process, I went up to my room which turned out to be directly in front of the elevators. The hotel seemed empty so I don’t know why they gave me the worst location on the floor but I was only there for a night with a friend (who wasn’t there yet) so I thought whatever. About half an hour later, I was in my room, and heard a knock on the door. As I was reaching for the door handle to answer it, I heard the sound of keys - a staff member ALREADY HAD HIS KEYS IN THE LOCK and had manually unlocked the door before I could actually answer it! He looked shocked that there was someone in the room and confused asking me if I requested to change rooms? No, I definitely did not - completely shocked I quickly shut the door while throwing the do not disturb sign on that I regretted not putting on in the first place. I called the front desk immediately and they said they would investigate what happened. After awhile a manager called me back and asked what happened again. After I told them, the manager was very quick to say that it was a “human error” (over and over) but never actually apologized or acknowledged in any way that what happened was a MAJOR safety and privacy issue. What if I had been bumming around in the nude? In the shower? She then tried to minimize it even further by saying it was okay because it was a staff member! What?? It’s just wild to me that this was not taken more seriously. I should be able to feel safe in my room without the risk of being intruded on at any given moment. Big YIKES. I received 50% of our money back for the night but I didn’t think this was even close to making up for what happened, especially since the hotel refused to take any responsibility for violating my privacy. I understand that accidents happen, but if you get into a car accident and it’s your fault you still have to pay for the damage you caused, it doesn’t mean that it didn’t happen.
