As a seasoned traveler, I have encountered my fair share of hospitality highs and lows. Unfortunately, my recent stay at The W Minneapolis - Foshay falls into the latter category, leaving me utterly disappointed and disrespected. Any semblance of admiration quickly disappeared when I discovered that my Apple Watch had been stolen from my room - Not sitting out in the open, but unzipped and taken directly from my closed suitcase. The blatant disregard for guest belongings and trust exhibited by the housekeeping staff is simply unacceptable. It's disheartening to think that such dishonesty permeates the very core of this establishment. Despite reporting this immediately to management and the corporate customer service team, with hopes of resolution and assistance; I was met with excuses, lack of concern, and dismissiveness. Not only did they fail to address my concerns with seriousness, but they also attempted to downplay the severity of the situation. Their lack of empathy and unwillingness to take appropriate and professional action only served to fuel my frustration and disappointment. In an industry built upon the foundation of hospitality and trust, The Foshay has demonstrated a profound deficiency in both regards. As a guest who entrusted them with my comfort and security, I expected professionalism, timely action, and proper handling of the situation. Instead, I was met with pure neglect and not a single action to rectify the theft. In more bizarreness, four days after I checked out of my room, the hotel (housekeeping I was told) attempted to place a random watch, that did not belong to me, in the same room. This attempt to replace the stolen item was both inappropriate and unacceptable - Again, this was a completely different watch that did not belong to me, so I can only wonder who the previous guest was in which that watch was likely stolen from. My experience at The Foshay was marred by incompetence, negligence, and a blatant disregard for guest privacy and trust. I strongly advise prospective visitors to exercise caution and reconsider their lodging options. No amount of amenities can compensate for the loss of trust and peace of mind endured during my stay. I hope they keep in mind that I work for Berkley company in which we utilize this hotel frequently - We will think twice before staying at this establishment again. I would advise the same for any guests considering The Foshay as an option.
