THE HOTEL STAFF STOLE OVER $900 WORTH OF OUR PROPERTY FROM OUR ROOM THEN KICKED US OUT OF THE HOTEL. Long story short is the sentence above. We have already processed a lawsuit against the hotel and have a police report in hand. DO NOT stay at this hotel if you value your property, your privacy, and money. Full story is below: We prepaid for a stay at Hotel Thea 4 months prior to our stay. We have receipts and confirmations that our booking was paid for and ready for August 8-11. While flying to Washington on the 8th, our flight was delayed, so I called the hotel to notify them we would be checking in late. The front desk employee said that was not a problem. We got in around 11:30pm, checked in successfully at the front desk, was issued a room card, and went to sleep. The next day (Wednesday the 9th), I needed to use the hairdryer, so I went downstairs to check it out from the front desk. They had me write our room number and name on the check out sheet. Once we were heading out for the day, I returned the hairdryer. When we came back that evening, our room key needed to be re-magnetized since I had it sitting to my chip debit cards all day. My husband went to the front desk and informed the employee our room key was not working. The employee refreshed the room key, and we were able to enter our room and go to sleep.

He said all our stuff had been moved to their back office. We demanded to know why they had done this, and he said he wasn't the one that did it and has no idea. He refused to give us his manager's contact information, but instead called his manager on his personal cell phone and gave it to us to speak with her. She claimed that no one had seen us in two days and that our reservation was actually for one night on Sunday the 6th, before we were even in the state. She claimed they had tried to reach us all day which was a lie. Both of our phones were on and functional all day and we received NO communication from them. We also have all the confirmations to prove that our reservation was for August 8-11. Also, why would we have been able to check in and stay there for two nights already had we not had a reservation? The front desk employee gave our belongings back in a trash bag. As we were going through our belongings, we began to notice more and more things were missing.
