My room card was not working so I stood in line at the front desk to have it re-keyed. As I waited an approximately 15 year old minor was at the desk talking to the clerk. As I waited, I overheard the clerk going back and forth with the teen about needing ID or his parents to give him keys to what sounded like a high rise, more expensive room. After a few moments the clerk went to the back room and eventually returned, giving the MINOR, not one, but FIVE keys to a room with no ID, no parent, no nothing. Apparently the minor was the kid of someone they deemed very important and did not want yo make waves with the parents. However, when I walked up, the clerk asked for my ID after I had given him my name, room number, and he had verified me on the computer. When I reminded him of his earlier actions with the minor and his failure to ID the minor, he became real "sassy" and again demanded my ID, which i showed him because it was the right thing to fo. This incident is a clear example of preferential treatment, but beyond that, I am absolutely sure that providing 5 keys to a minor for him and his friends for Formula 1 weekend, was out of policy. I reported this to a female manager, who basically looked at me like I was crazy instead of acknowledging the issue.
