We stayed in the hotel over the Easter weekend to attend their Easter brunch buffet. However, we experienced an issue and received extremely poor customer service from front desk staff Morgan B. On the Easter Sunday morning, we packed our car early and went to the aquarium. We left our food in the fridge in our room for one of my kids who has severe allergies to egg/peanut with my cooler packs and a bag by the fridge. We were planning to go back to the room to retrieve my kid’s specialty food, then check-out before 11am, then go to the brunch. At 10:50 when I went back to my room (we never checked out in the morning), the cleaning staff already cleaned the room and threw away all food including my ice packs and bag too. When I raised the problem to the front desk, I didn’t not get any apologies but instead, Morgan gaslighted me and said it’s our fault not to have a “don’t disturb sign” up on the door before we left this morning. I was also told it’s not common practice for the cleaning staff to confirm with front desk which room’s guest have officially checked out before they start cleaning. Their cleaning staff starts at 9ish and if they knock on the door and nobody answers or the room looks empty without other belongings, they’d assume guests are gone and will clean it. There’s clear communication gaps between management and housekeeping staff of when to clean AFTER they know for sure the guests are gone. They can’t just make assumptions and throw away ppl’ stuff, before 11
