THIEF ALERT! Backpack stolen DURING CHECK IN
I don't like to trash any businesses online. I'm just stating all the facts here. You travelers can be the judge yourselves. The 1 star I'm giving only goes to both the manager Aldolfo and the bell boy Alexandro. I'll explain below.
I checked into Hotel Capital San Pablo around 10:45 pm on a Thursday night. I took out my passport from my backpack for the receptionist and put the backpack on top of my suitcase, which was standing right next to me. I leaned forward over the reception desk to sign a few documents, as requested. In a matter of seconds, my backpack disappeared. The whole incident was caught on the lobby's surveillance camera. I lost all my cash, credit cards (which I cancelled immediately), house keys, electronic devices, sunglasses and my whole wallet. The thieves tried to use my CC within 5 minutes. Luckily I received alerts from all my CC companies. Thank God I had my passport and cellphone with me. Filed a police report but frankly the police wouldn't care less. I wasn't able to get a copy of police report for my travel insurance claim after 4 days (hotel told me it would take 24 hours only). I guess the thousands of losses I suffered are solely on me.
My understanding is that this kind of robbery has happened at this hotel before. It's beyond me that there's NO security guard onsite whatsoever!
One star to manager Aldolfo as he was being understanding and professional. He comp'ed all my meals,
