Absolutely ruined our stay in Puebla. I booked this hotel for a weekend in Puebla as we had a wedding during our stay. Arriving at the hotel we were pleasantly surprised at the quality of the hotel considering it's cheap price. We were greeted by a nice man and we felt very welcome. We woke up early eager to get out and see Puebla as this was our first trip here. We counted our cash and stashed some under our clothes in our case. We have been robbed on the streets before and didn't want to risk taking too much cash. When we arrived back we counted the cash ready to change some dollars as we wanted to purchase some beautiful things at the market. It was then We realized money was missing. Panicked we check all our bags and realized it was definitely gone. It was then I checked my jewelry bag, and to my horror my gold necklace, which was my mothers was missing. We spoke to the girl on reception whom called a manager. The manger arrived 10 minutes later. We wanted to call the police but the manger didn't want the police to come until the owner came. The owner was an hour and a half away. So my husband called the police. They came swiftly. Unfortunately the security camera tapes were in a locked room and only the owner had the keys. We went to make a statement with the police. When we arrived back to the hotel the owner had arrived. He had checked the video footage and the only person who'd accessed the room was the cleaning lady. He did not apologize for what had happened and really seemed not to believe us. We had wasted a day making statements and waiting around to speak to someone who could help. I was in shock and distraught as the necklace was my mothers, irreplaceable and had great sentimental value. I will never see it again. To my horror the cleaning lady is still working there. This leads me to believe that he thought we'd made it up! Absolutely ruined our trip. I'm devastated that my necklace has gone, no money can replace it. I'm shocked at how unprofessional the owner/management were. We tried to book elsewhere as they made us feel so uncomfortable but it was Saturday, we had little money left and a wedding to attend. These are the only reason we had to stay. I had been looking forward to our trip for so long, and although it was a short one it was supposed to be special as were were attending a wedding with dear friends and family. This hotel and the lack understanding truly ruined our stay. I can only warn anyone staying there, do not let the maid clean you room! Or do not leave anything there that you care about. I have totally lost trust in people. Absolutely gutted. It does not deserve 1 star in my book!
