Stayed 1 night

We found our luggage had been stolen from while inside a locked private room. After bringing this to the attention of staff they told us the footage had been deleted and several staff lied to us in the process. At the police station we learned this was a known problem for this property. Other guests need to be careful around the staff of this place.

Beware - Theft. While staying at Curiocity in a private room someone came in to our locked private room and stole every last bit of our money from hidden pockets in three different bags. We reported to staff but they said all the footage that showed the theft was deleted. Multiple staff members lied to us when dealing with the incident and didn’t help us at all. The owner then treated us very badly. I hate to write bad reviews but I want to warn fellow travelers about this place.
