Great time until my earrings were stolen
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 6/30/08
I have stayed at the Matador several times and have not had a bad experience until this year. Someone took my diamond stud earrings off the dresser in the back bedroom. We (my sisters and I) left our rooom at 8:30 am for an hour, and I didn't think the maid service would be around that early. When we returned around 9:30 our rooom had already been serviced and my earrings were missing. I know there is not much the motel can do, but I felt the owner/manager did not believe me. The next day, the maid service did not come until after 4 pm. I happened to be just leaving the room when the girl came. She left the door open while she was servicing the room and two little girls from next door ran into the room and jumped into our beds in the back bedroom. The grandmother came into the room to get the girls. I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't witnessed it. Any stranger can access your room and belongings when the maids leave the doors open and are in the bathroom freshening it up. It is very easy to see how things can be taken.
