    I was in San Diego last year and checked into a motel. The guy who was helping people with their luggage, helped me carry mine up to my 3rd floor room (no elevator) and when we got to my room, he whipped out a key and opened my door! I was like "Did this guy just basically tell me that he could come into my room at any time he wanted to???" I thought this... but then I was like... "No. You're over-reacting." Plus, it was late (midnight) and I was tired, so I brushed it off. I told myself "the door is locked and latched - but if anyone comes in here then i'll just hit them with that iron". (Sidebar lesson in hindsight: if you have to actually have this thought, then you don't need to be in that situation!)
    So I took a shower and was about to get into bed when "something* told me to check the hotel phone (in case I needed to call 9-1-1). Sidebar lesson #2: if you actually have this thought, then you don't need to be in that situation! LEAVE!!!
    So, I picked up the receiver and the ENTIRE PHONE WAS A FAKE....IT WAS A PROP!!!!!!
    And THAT'S when I was like "OH HELL NO! I'M OUT DEUCES!" I packed my sh!t as fast as I could and flew down those 3 flights of stairs, got into my car and peeled out of there!
    LESSON: LISTEN TO THOSE FEELINGS.... THOSE WHISPERS... THOSE "something-told-me's". They will protect you and keep you safe!

    Oh, wow Jacy, that situation is very shady! I would have been cussing everybody out!!
    My cousin got caught up in a similar situation! She was coming back from her car and saw a man looking in her room window. She reported him to the hotel staff and one of the managers told her that he was the "security guard" But her Spidey senses told her otherwise. Luckily, she is a police officer, so she was carrying. She went back into her room and shut out all the lights. After a few min the same man came back to her room and was in the process of trying to enter her room. She opened the door identified herself as a police officer and drew her weapon on him he bolted. To make a long story short she called the local police department, and it turned out that the manager of the hotel was actually involved with that guy and was running a drug and prostitution ring out of that hotel. That is my storytime lol!

    I remember my homeboy and I took a trip to Houston to check out the nightlife. After we finished partying we stayed at a cheap motel called the white house somewhere in South Houston. We saw crack fiends before we got the room entrance and when we got in the motel there were roaches. We skidattled out of there and slept in the car for the night.

    If the police came to you they could have watched the video and got a copy of it.
    The police would have told you all about the motel and told you what you should do.
    It would have put the motel more so on their radar..
    It may have saved the life of another person...
    You still ought to report it because people may be go missing.
    It's full on human trafficking.
    Please report it.
    The police will do a stake out.

    Here’s my story. Cleveland, Ohio. My boss and I both flew from Chicago to Cleveland to demonstrate some software to a department at the local hospital. we took separate flights and arrived at different times. When I was entering the hotel, my boss was up at the front desk telling the staff that he had just gotten back from dinner and his computer had been stolen. This was a $3000 Apple laptop with all of the software on it that we were to be demonstrating the next day. So I’m
    standing there watching them go get the hotel security and they look at the records and they can see what times and how many times the key was card was used. So the next thing I hear is the security guard saying “I’m sorry sir but we looked at all the records of the key card and your key card is the only card that has access to this room so my boss is just standing there dumbfounded and he’s like my laptop is missing And they’re like sorry sir but we have confirmed your card is the only one that has opened the door so being someone who has watched a lot of Columbo and I’m not shy to speak up. I said wait a minute John didn’t you just get back from dinner he said yes, I said do you have your receipt he said yes I said pull it out because the time stamp is going to be on the receipt and then you can see if any of the timestamps for the key card were while you were at dinner. Sure enough it turned out that the employees when they made copies of the cards to give to the patrons of the hotel, they would make themselves another copy and go into the room when the person was out of the hotel. It was a whole scam and they had to buy him a new computer. Unfortunately he didn’t get any of the software back and had to reload everything but that’s the story.

    Yeah the cheaper the hotel, the more shady it is. The ppl being removed was the first sign you shouldn't have checked in. Seeing the door didnt have the extra locks was a MAJOR red flag. That shows the hotel participates in the shenanigans. I would've left immediately. Never assume that staff workers will help or protect you. Sometimes they'll lead you right back into the trap. Other times they're just no help. Some businesses are invovled in illegal stuff... It's Their front. You were smart to be on alert. Glad you're ok 😊

    I once stayed at a motel in Indiana. After getting my room key I entered my room to find a woman sitting on my bed. Me being naive I thought I had went into the wrong room and it was double booked. But she said "It's ok! This is definitely your room. There's no problem here" and walked out. It took me a minute to realize she was a prostitute. I told the guy at the front desk who looked very nervous and he said "I don't know what you are taking. I didn't see any woman walking around here." I later saw her again walking around the parking lot at night.

    That door latch thing at the end of the video is a good idea. I've also seen door stoppers that have alarms on them that you jam under the door to keep people from entering.
    You said at the start most of the bad reviews were about the staff, now we know why. I don't stay anywhere the reviews say the staff is bad because in these situations you need them to be on you side wanting to help you. Those people are probably used to those drug users bringing all kinds of drama and crime so a mix up like the maintenance guy seems like nothing to them. They're jaded and apathetic and shouldn't be in the hospitality industry. I also think the first impressions of that place before check in were enough to walk away. But you're safe now. That's what's important. It's a learning experience. Wisdom comes from learning these life lessons. You live and learn.

    Girly, I'm SO SORRY you had to deal with this. So here in az( I live here, in Scottsdale) we have a HUGE problem with people addicted to Blues better known as fentanyl, and a LOT of hotels cater to the kind of people that use and do that, and sell them or down on your luck people will scape enough money to get a room or working girls( or boys) or ppl that sell them go to these hotels. Just from looking at the one you stayed at and how they treated you THAT was the issue. Yes they kicked people out but those people must of been super blatant with either using or selling it or they had a lot of traffic with ppl coming to buy them. If you come back don't hesitate to get in touch with me and I can help you get into a nice, safe, place, by letting you know the areas that are bad. I'm so sorry you had to deal with this.

    But if it's a maintenance worker that accidentally opened your door, and you said in your clip, "as long as it was maintenance, that's fine", ...then why did you need the new room? Bc the maintenance man "knew you were alone"? From what you described, he didn't even see you. Why does everyone want to be a victim nowadays?

    Gaslighting is when you are being deceived for a long period of time. And it's typically used to describe abuse.
