I don’t know about this particular story. But I have personally been escorted to my room and asked to describe, in-detail, what objects are in the room when they open the door. I have no idea what they plan to do if it isn’t what I say it is, but that method I’ve experienced. I’ve also explained to the front desk and they ask a cleaning person to do a check based on what I say. Nothing about this sounds too far fetched to me, based on my experiences at other hotels/resorts. Maybe this only happens to you if you have a sketchy appearance or due to other biases; if you are clean cut and of a non-prejudiced race, maybe you won’t run into this crap.

"escorted to my room" is entirely different than the story described here. And "other hotels/resorts" don't have over 5000 rooms and thousands of additional visitors to the casino, clubs, shows, restaurants, who are not hotel guests. > maybe you won’t run into this crap What "crap"? He didn't have ID. The employees should simply hand out keys on the honor system?

  He probably had ID in his room (or, if in America one can check in without an ID, he could have a credit card with his name), and the staff should have verified it instead of giving a key to a random stranger.

  I also mentioned how in some cases I described it to the front desk and they had cleaning services check. A 5000 room hotel is no different than a 500 room hotel except for scale. You still have to do the same stuff, just more often. Having more rooms doesn’t make things go away… What crap? Being treated with suspicion just for the way you look. “Have ID, don’t care, maybe it’s fake”. :sigh:

    Fake ID? Did you read the story? He did not have ID with him when he requested a replacement room key.
