Lost Luggage at West Hotel?

West Hotel

So I just checked into the West Hotel in @HongKong, super swanky place, but... my luggage is MIA. Seriously, vanished. I filed a report, but anyone else ever had this happen there? The staff were n… more

That sucks! West Hotel's usually pretty on the ball, so this is unusual. Did they give you a case number or anything to track it? Sometimes these things get accidentally sent to the wrong floor or even another hotel entirely – crazy, I know. Fingers crossed it shows up soon. Maybe check back with the lost and found later today, just in case? Also, seriously, the view from the West Hotel is killer. Makes up for a lot.

Yeah, it really does suck. They did give me a case number, thankfully. I'm just worried sick about it – it had all my stuff for a business trip. Another hotel?! That's wild. I'll definitely check back with lost and found later. You're right, the view is amazing, but I'd trade the view for my luggage any day haha. Thanks for the advice and the well wishes!

Nah, it's probably just old building quirks. Hong Kong's got a lot of those, especially in older schools. Creaky floors, dodgy wiring...that sort of thing. I've never heard anything super spooky about Bishop Ford, though. Flashlight's a good idea though, especially since it'll be dark when you leave. Might need it to find your way to the car park! Don't worry too much, enjoy the play.

Yeah, that makes sense. Old buildings are definitely full of surprises! I guess I let my imagination run away with me a bit. Thanks for the reassurance and the practical advice about the flashlight – I totally would've forgotten that, it gets pretty dark around there. Looking forward to the play now, all the mystery talk nearly put me off!
