"WE WERE ROBBED. Since we were on the road with a pickup truck and a U-Haul (moving from suburban Washington, DC to Central Florida), I asked the lady at the front desk if it was safe to park on their property as we checked in at around 10:00 PM on Sunday, March 29, 2026, and she confirmed that yes it was.
When we awoke and went to leave at about 10:00 AM on Monday, March 30, 2026, we realized that someone had ripped open the protective cover on the back of our pick up truck, and had stolen a suitcase, a $250 Vornado vintage-style fan, and had damaged our tool box. We immediately informed the front desk, and they told us to call the police. They did nothing else. An officer appeared shortly thereafter, and he informed us that it was the second time in a week that he had gone to that hotel because of a robbery. We went behind the hotel into the woods to search for our items, since the officer told us that sometimes thieves dump what they've stolen.
Luckily, we found our suitcase with its contents spread about. However, the Tornado fan was nowhere to be found. Since then, the hotel had refused to reimburse us for the night we stayed there, and much less for the stolen fan. On top of that, Hotels.com did reach out to them, but nothing came of it. I cannot be more vehement: DO NOT STAY IN THIS HOTEL."
