> The club offers more than a 100 resorts in North America and the Caribbean to their owner-members. The caption explains a lot. It seems these aren’t necessarily the full service luxury hotels with the fully staffed reception and bell service 24 hours a day. These seem to be time shares which are glorified condos. I have stayed at these before. While they are nice, there is not the level of service that you get at a full service hotel. For example, There is no bellman, instead they provide trolleys for you to being up your own luggage. The cleaning staff only come between stays, the reception desk is only open during business hours, etc. Given this, a lot more stuff make sense. It would be trivial to load up a trolley with the mattress and take it where you want it. At night, there is not a lot of people around so it would be easy. The cleaning staff don’t come everyday so it would be be some time before the missing mattress was noticed.

Couldn't they just figure out who stayed in the room last? Or am I missing something entirely?

  Use a stolen CC or use a stolen identity to open a new CC and use that. And if they did track you down but the mattress was already sold off, can they prove that you even stole it? You could easily just say someone must have slipped in after you checked out and stole it.

  I returned to my room in a hotel I stayed at frequently while housekeeping were still in there. I chatted to the staff got an extra towel and more tea and only when they left realised I was in the room one floor below mine, that I'd stayed in the week before. Housekeeping don't know who the guests are if you walk into the room confidently they won't say anything at all.

    Proper procedures are for all doors to always be closed, even while working in the room, and never to let anyone into a room without verifying their identity unless they have their own key.

      Perhaps we can conclude that "proper procedures" aren't always followed. I'm shocked. (Not.)

      I always see housekeeping working in the room with doors open. I don't think these procedures are anything but followed.

  My instinct tells me that it's probably a former employee who understand the layout and lax security.
