Let me first start off by saying, I am not a big yelper and have only ever left positive reviews for places.
I am blown away by the lack of customer service this hotel has. It makes me want to cry thinking of my entire experience and management has yet to even reach out or apologize, which is the least they could do.
I stayed in the Mosaic Hotel about 2 weeks ago. Everything was going good until I checked my luggage with the front. I had travel bags that I left with concierge. They gave me a ticket stub to pick them up later. I returned and asked for my bags. Apparently the lady at the front had not labeled my bag and the valet man had placed my luggage in another persons car, not realizing that the luggage was not theirs.
I was horrified when I realized that my luggage was placed in someone else car with all my belongings, but ok - stay calm and maybe we can get a hold of these people. There was no number on file and no record of who was the last person to leave. All I got was, "well they said they were heading to the airport". I then asked if there was any kind of reimbursement or anything they could do but I just got blank stares.
Then I started to freak out and cry. We called around to multiple guests at the hotel, hoping they were in the same conference as me, called the airport, called rental car agencies...
FINALLY I get an answer that my bag is likely at LAX. We look it up and its 2 hours away with traffic. We then drive to LAX and go around to multiple rental agencies. Im asking them to look in lost and found, and getting denied by everyone.
By now, 4 hours have gone by. Im freaking out because all of my belongings are in that bag (makeup, hair products and tools, sunscreen, medications, clothes - everything!) and trying not to cry because I'm normally very calm and rational.
After driving around for hours, calling multiple places and getting placed on hold and having to figure out what number to dial because I cant get ahold of an actual person instead of an operator, I FINALLY find my bag! However, its in a rental car still and they start to question me because they cant find the key. I have to talk to multiple people and have lengthy conversations in order to tell them that I did not drive that rental, I do not take their car key, and that yes - that is my bag!
Now 5 hours later, I've talked them into breaking into the rental car and giving me my bag. Mind you - I was supposed to be at a work function meeting the other team members that night but instead it got turned into a crazy, frantic, stressful wild goose chase.
Let me end this by saying the front lady and valet man were very kind to me. I understand mistakes happen. I work in customer service and totally understand that we're all human. However, management did not reach out to me after the incident nor after calling two times to report the incident. There were 3 chances where I tried to make contact and they ignored me when they could have just reached out and at least apologized! Im extremely disappointed and would not recommend this hotel to any of my friends/family
