I’m very disappointed about having my vehicle broken into and items stolen. This despite parking right in front in view of the staff/security and I suspect your employees tipped the thieves off. Luckily I removed my bike and more valuable items but it’s still a pain to have to replace the camping and truck gear that was taken. It’s not enough to make an insurance claim worthwhile given penalties and hassle. This sort of thing will keep me from ever using this hotel again on my business trips to the area. Your loss folks.
