To take the body lotion and soap from a £250 a night hotel? They have asked for it back!!!

[mum2sons]

DH and I spent our wedding anniversary in a v expensive boutique hotel. I took the body lotion and soap home as I usually would do (sad, but I get v excited about these things!)Yesterday we received a letter from the hotel asking for us to send the 2 items back for the future enjoyment of guests!!! Talk about humiliation! Looking forward to MNetters views

Me and Dh thought of something else quite worrying for a romantic hotel.. the letter was addressed to Mr and Mrs...I opened it. What if DH had not been with me but with a secret mistress who he checked in as his wife? The hotel made a complete assumption that we were married. Hardly the greatest of discretion

I am suprised this is still going on but guess what soap and lotion I saw out last night in the toilet of a wine bar? Yes, you guessed it! I nearly had to take a valium.

Do people still check in as Mr and Mrs when they're not married?
It would be one thing for DH to spend the night in a hotel with some fluzy , but quite another if she pretended to be me!

Ha ha, I killed this thread!

I was going to say "no you didn't!" but that would be childish so I won't.

for next time

HOTEL Du VIN have gorgeous shower stuff in nice (plastic) bottles and leave a note saying

PLEASE FEEL FREE TO TAKE ME HOME

Mum2sons, have the hotel got their stuff yet? Have they responded?

Hi Powder28

They should have got it on Saturday. No response as yet...

Not wanting to be contentious (sp?) but do you really expect a reply from them? I suspect they maybe lying low at this point realising what a complete mess they have made of everything.
It will be interesting to see if they have managed to aquire a sembelance of sense and start to behave like the mature responsible reasonable company one would previously thought they were IYSWIM. By which I mean send you a thoughtful handwritten note apologising for any misunderstandings which may have occured. etc blah blah.
Let us know wont you?

Hi Starmummy,

I will definately let you know if I do get a reply. Time has healed this particular wound for me but I am really interested to see if I do get any kind of response..

Hmmm.

Wow this is an ancient but amusing thread!

I particularly like aloha's assertion that bears shit in the woods!

I remember this. Talk about a blast from the past. And so many old names too

What was the outcome anyway? Did she send the stolen goods back? Or is she still wanted

I just spent an hour of my life reading this thread and it's bloody 4 years old.

you bumped a FOUR YEAR OLD THREAD to say hmmm? [boggle]

why on earth would you do that? hmmm. not even a long opinion or a witty remark, just a 'hmmm'. How odd of you.

I wasn't around back then, but I would love to know what happened at the end of this one! Anyone know?

Tidy dancer, I think she returned the soaps, Strattons were unrepentant, that was it. I've only skimmed the thread though!

Were they actually dispensers and not the normal plastic bottles? I'm that anyone would nick a dispenser from a hotel

I think it was established at the time that they were large plastic bottles

Oh, I saw that they were returned, I just wondered if they ever came back and said anything in response to her letter when she returned them. Appauling customer service wasn't it?

Lol lol lol

Nooooooooo - I just read ALL of this and it is 4 YEARS OLD!?

I was smarter than to read the whole thing without checking the date, as I have already been burned by the ressurection of an old thread once today

I think if it was in a dispenser then what was the OP thinking in taking it??

But, if it was just a large plastic bottle I think the hotel is yuck for not providing individual bottles for individual guests. Who knows what the lotion may have been used for by the guests of the room before OP

On a cruise around the West Indies they restocked my bathroom with Molton Brown bottles EVERYDAY. I came home with hundreds of them.
