We were robbed !
Can you believe this?
Front desk clerk apologized that he inadvertently rented out our room for the day while we were still registered for the room.
The renters robbed us of cash, a laptop, a passport, destroyed a carryon bag to get inside because it was
locked.
Our room was in such a mess when we entered that night.
Looked like someone partied while they were in there.
The contents of my carry on were completely emptied on the bed and floor!
If you were given a room and noticed luggage still inside toiletries in the bathroom, would you not go back to the front desk?
How can this happen?
The Hotel has video throughout the place, an ID photocopied from these people, but I've not heard back from anyone at the Hotel regarding the arrest of these thieves or the return of the items stolen.
Never in all my years travelling have I heard of this situation happening!
We called police and filed a report.
This report is what I used to get back into Canada.
Ok, hotel refunded our cost, but my laptop had photos and data that is now forever lost!
What will the thieves do with my passport?
Ok, I cancelled it was I got back home, but this passport in still out there.
It's troubling to me to know that it's in the hands of these thieves.
What was a nice vacation turned into a nightmare by the carelessness of Casa Blanca Hotel.
I still have my doubts about the Clerks story!
I would not recommend this Hotel to anyone who is looking for a place to stay while visiting New York.
