Beware! Snooping/Thieving housekeepers!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 3/9/09
I will never return to this hotel again. I picked Super 8 because it was in a nice central location, near shopping centers w/ affordable rates. A good place to lay your head for the night right???? Wrong! I decided to get some breakfast, but before leaving I placed the "Do Not Disturb" sign on the door..so the maids would not attempt to clean my room. I passed a housekeeper, who appeared to be very friendly, while going down to breakfast area.. Upon my return to my room..I was shocked to be greeted by the same friendly housekeeper leaving my room. She immediatly began to state she was cleaning my bathroom because it was dirty. I was very uneasy w/ this because I had not even taken a shower in the bathroom yet..nor did I ask for housekeeping to enter my room hints: (the do not disturb sign on my door. The housekeeper seemed very nervous and anxious to assure me she was only cleaning and nothing else. Once she left my companion contacted the front desk who was not at all helpful regarding our concerns. We had all of our personal belongings ..from our wallets, purses (w/id's and cc info) cell phones etc.... . I was so bothered..not knowing how long she was in our room or what she may have taken. I know longer wanted to stay another minute in that motel..We packed up our things and proceeded to the front desk. There waited the same unsympathetic front desk man...who spoke nothing of what just happened..So, at that point, I felt the need to remind him. The only thing he could say was he"yelled at her" and this is the 3rd time this has happened. I was absolutely outraged that this housekeeper still is employed, and even more shocked how non chalant the front deskman appeared to be. He never apologized for her actions, he didn't offer any type of compensation on our current stay...Nothing! I even asked for a number or address to corporate. He said I can send any/all correspondence to their location and they will forward accordingly.....(I think not!)...I hope anyone who reads this review or prior reviews regarding this hotel...will stay clear of the it, and hopefully learn a lesson w/out having to experience it.
