VALET GAVE MY CAR TO AN INTOXICATED BACKSEAT PASSENGER WITHOUT THE CLAIM TICKET. Just this past Saturday December 7th, at approx 4:30am, my 2018 Camry was handed over to A woman that had been one of the passengers in the backseat of my car. IT WAS THAT SIMPLE.... NO CLAIM TICKET....NO ID... NO PHONE CALL...NO PROOF that she had permission to use or take my car. I stayed with a VIP guest at this location & after dinner , we went back to the hotel. He drove, I was in the passenger seat, & we had to passengers in backseat, another man & woman. They gave him the blue claim ticket, which he handed to me & told me to put in my purse. They attached another blue valet ticket to my car keys which indicated his first & last name & the valet guy took my keys & went to park my car. Upon our checking out Saturday morning as he headed to the airport, he reminded me that he had given me the valet claim ticket & to have them bring up my car. Initially, I was not able to locate the claim ticket but they realized whom I was with & went to get my car. After about 5 minutes, they were unable to locate my car. They asked if I was sure it was there & that was quite confusing because, why wouldn't it be? As i stood outside with the 2 valet guys working, they escorted me to the box where the car keys are kept & asked if i recognized my keychain or keys, I didn't see my keys in the box. Not sure on the gentlemans name, but another young man working in a gray suit began to inquire on what was going on & I could see the urgency on his face as we all seemed confused on where my car was. The guy in the gray suit went into the parking garage in the building and filmed a short video of the cars THAT THEY HAD INSIDE, NONE WERE MINE. I didn't know if someone was out joy riding my car & if I needed to call the police or if somehow the previous valet guy moved my car somewhere else. Their VIP guest I stayed with, now gone& headed to the airport & unaware I'm stuck at his hotel that has lost my damn car. After about 30 minutes, another gentleman named CJ came to me and mentioned they watched security footage of a woman in orange walk up to the valet & request my car, valet pulled it up, she was given my keys, then left with my car. This woman was a PASSENGER in the back seat of my vehicle. Additionally, she was highly intoxicated as well & did not have my claim ticket but was given access to my car. I attempted to call her on the phone number she had given me but she did not answer. Still clueless about my cars whereabouts, I decided to call a LYFT home WHICH I PAID FOR AS WELL which cost me $40. They did not offer to help me get home or ask me if I needed assistance getting home. I caught a Lyft home to locate a 2nd set of keys to my car just in case I was able to locate it. I found my car about 2 hours later. This is insanity! This woman could have killed herself or someone else driving drunk and under the influence. She could have gotten pulled over for DUI and she has NO RECOLLECTION of how she was able to leave this hotel and drive anywhere .CJ the guest experience manager gave me his card and apologies & claims he filed an incident report but this is still a shocking situation to have occurred. They did not comp me for my Lyft ride, & have not offered to. Visit at your own risk
