2/10 Terrible

Do NOT stay here if you want them to STEAL your valuables and have the AUDACITY TO GIVE YOU ATTITUDE!!!
I’ve stayed at Shashi Hotel in Palo Alto around 5–6 times and had made it my preferred hotel because of its location and past good experiences. Until this visit, I never had a single problem — so I expected professionalism and care.
During my recent stay, some of my personal trading cards (worth $100s!!!) went missing from the room. When I reported it, two front desk employees insisted that no one had entered the room and repeatedly claimed that staff “does not steal.” They gave my boyfriend the key to check the room himself — which he did — and sure enough, the cards were gone, though the bag they had been in remained.
What shocked me the most was the attitude of the front desk representative, Ariana, during a follow-up call. Instead of acknowledging the situation, she was dismissive, condescending, and mocking. She repeatedly told me that “the hotel does not steal” and accused me of being “disrespectful” simply for describing my own items as stolen. She refused to provide management contact information at first and claimed not to know if the hotel even had a policy for missing items. The tone of the call made me feel belittled and defensive, even though this was entirely the hotel’s mishandling, not anything I did.
I hope the management retrains their staff on professionalism and courtesy towards their guests, this is shocking behavior.
