We stayed in this hotel from Apr 29 - Apr 30. This hotel since it opened has been our base hotel for our trips to Tucson, AZ. This experience has just taken this hotel and probably any other Hilton property of our list.
We checked out on Apr 30 in the morning, but unfortunately forgot our valuables (which included passports, visas, a checkbook, and a white envelope containing $7,000 US in cash) in the in-room safe. About an hour later while on the road, when we noticed the forgotten items, we called our travel agent and asked him to notify the hotel that we were on our way to pick up our belongings that were forgotten. Our agent talked with the front desk clerk Marissa, who told him they'd be waiting for them.
When we arrived, we asked for our belongings and they just opened a drawer and pulled one-by-one each item, asking if it was ours, even pulling items that didn't belong to us. After asking for the money, they just shrudded their shoulders and said those were all the belongings.
We then asked for assistance from a manager and was "helped" by Josh, he was rude, wouldn't give us any information regarding the staff name, the time they went into the room and he was just condescending every step of the way. He self-introduced as the Hotel Manager, when in fact he was not. He asked to check our belognings, as if doubting our thruthfulness. Our travel agent talked to him as well and brushed him off. He was told by Josh that if they wanted any more information, he would only give it to the authorities.
So we called the Pima County Sheriff Department, who promptly came and did the due dilligence in doing a search of the belongings of the person who supposedly went into the room and nothing came up. The Sheriff Deputy that came asked if we could search our things and, we did. Nothing came out of this search. We were given a case number and we left the hotel with a defeated feeling. It felt unfair to be treated this way and for the hotel not to take it seriously.
While dealing with this issue on site, our travel agent contacted Hilton guest assistance for what it is named for "guest assistance". They took note and "escalated it to the highest Hilton management possible". The response from "the highest Hilton management" was just a response from the hotel General Manager, who wasn't Josh, whose name is Marrie Vizcarra stating that there was a police report and had searched the belongings of the person involved. No help whatsoever.
Again, through our travel agent, we followed up with the GM Marie Vizcarra, who said was concerned and told that Marissa had gone into the room in order to be ready for us to arrive, and to help us just close this case with us would send him the logs of who entered the room, which she didn't send.
This issue again, is so frustrating and we felt so vulnerable that we can't even recommend at all staying here.
