My nightmarish hotel stay at Comfort Inn & Suites in Arlington Heights

Dear audience I will be taking the owners of The Comfort inn and suites and suing them for emotional distress and theft of my most Valuable and favorite gold ring stolen by their housekeeping staff.

I’m writing this review as unemotional and drama free as possible to warn people that this particular location does not comply with health codes nor will your most treasured personal belongings be safe here.

I booked an extended stay here ironically because I had to break an apartment lease in Chicago due to black mold.

In late May I checked in and they gave me a fairly decent room which included a nice balcony for my pets but after 28 consecutive stays I was forced to move into room 238 which I can confirm has mold because the ceiling and walls were peeling and I suffered migraines and my pets were vomiting which is not common unless you’re exposed to black mold. The room they relocated me to had no phone, peeling walls, a run down bathroom with a broken toilet with cracked seat, a clogged sink and slow running clogged shower with mildew in the grout tiles.

What irks me is half the staff was afraid of my lovely and gentle pyrenees and during housekeeping which you had to beg for pets had to stay on the balcony.  There was one housekeeper named Norma who scowled at me and my pets as she ran into me or had to begrudgingly clean my room. I even had to clean my room after she left because she’d never do a thorough job. I was placed on the 2nd floor by long-term guests who were receiving free hotel vouchers and housing assistance and the hallway on this floor was never steam cleaned and in deplorable living conditions without being cleaned properly and an exit sign dangling on its hinges. There are no working fire extinguishers on this floor and a very dangerous mentally ill woman moved in in December knocking on my door unannounced and one evening she threatened to hit me.

This past summer a trans woman brought in a high volume of male guests to her room so she’d leave a rock leaving the downstairs door a ajar endangering the guests living here.

Last week was the last straw! I requested my weekly cleaning on a Wednesday morning at 10am and Zack lied and said no problem. At 12om they still didn’t arrive. I had suffered from food poisoning the night before and just wanted cleaning and to rest in my room. Instead housekeeping banged on my door at 1:30pm and arguing loudly. I normally slip on my favorite $1400 rose gold ring on my finger but I didn’t expect them and Norma was very loud cussing and making noises banging things around in my bathroom while me and the pets were in my bedroom. She ordered me to put my pets in the bathroom and while I was gone for 3 minutes she stole my beautiful ring from my bedside table. I know it was her. She acted very suspicious hurriedly cleaning my bed then running out my door in less than 30 minutes. When I reached for my ring 2 hours later to go out it was gone. I filed a police report and informed the front desk what had happened but Zack found it amusing and began laughing. I may press charges against the hotel owners for negligence especially since another guest told me that $500 worth of clothes were also stolen from her room by housekeeping right before Thanksgiving.

I am warning people that your belongings will not be safe here. I’m suffering from emotional distress and feeling deeply violated that such a hateful woman would have the nerve to steal from a long-term guest.  I paid at least $3,000 per month and I would like to be reimbursed by the owners of this hotel. 

The bathrooms are old and run down and the housekeeping staff steals. You will have to beg the front desk for the bare minimum of a shoddy, haphazard cleaning job! 

I was also informed by a former front desk employee that the hotel hired illegal 🚫 immigrants intentionally so they could pay them cash under the table instead of paying using W2 forms the legal way. None of the housekeeping staff except for two women who quit months ago spoke or understand English.

I needed to include my review here on my WordPress blog because each day I’m reminded of how much money 💰 I wasted each month only to have my most valued possession stolen from me by a cruel housekeeper who hates my guts.

Sam and Neal Patel are the owners of Comfort Inn and Suites in Arlington heights, Illinois and there are many building code violations at this location which include missing fire extinguishers and elevators that have not been recently inspected.

I warn everyone thinking of booking a room here that the front desk does not care about your well being or your safety based on my extended stay here.

When clients make me Cringe

I am going to start off my paragraph here with deep gratitude for all the wonderful and sensitive clients I’ve met in my lifetime. The clients I met who were loyal to me and who looked forward to my visits whenever I traveled to their cities. If it weren’t for these special men and these lovely experiences 💕 I probably would not have lasted so long in my industry. Most of these thoughtful men were from the East coast or locals here in Chicago. I could count on their repeat visits and some in the past visited me weekly or even twice a week if it was within their budget and means to do so. Now however I see so much less loyalty with an oversaturation of women who have lost their jobs due to the challenging economy. Their heart isn’t in it but they need the money to support their families and they are charging less than market value out of desperation. Men see this as an opportunity to take full advantage of this new crisis and even the men who can afford a luxury budget or moderate budget are chasing after deals and desperation. I see much less loyalty as men chase after the newest provider visiting the city as a hobby and a form of excitement. It’s unfortunate though and I see that this defines how I see my near future.

Now let’s focus on my needs for security. Before I choose to work with anyone new I’d like to know my guest’s full legal name and occupation or if my client is retired I’d like to know their former career just for my safety and for verification purposes. My number one priority is safety and having a mutually enjoyable and relaxing experience without any drama. I’d like a deposit and if I don’t receive a deposit electronically a new guest can always take time out of their busy day or night 🌙 and meet me in person for a friendly coffee ☕ and offer me a cash deposit to hold an appointment date and time. I have no issues honoring a client’s needs for discretion however the full legal name is definitely the deal breaker. I have no desire to meet a random stranger i don’t know without a legal name and without knowing who this person looks like. This isn’t a James Bond movie and I’m not out to destroy anyone’s life or marriage. I just want complete transparency and disclosure so I don’t have to worry about my safety. If I feel intimidated I just can’t give anyone a soothing session.

.

Now let me share my turn offs. I think men who contact me and ask me to visit them at their home or hotel must realize I will need to include an outcall fee to take care of my round-trip expenses and the time it takes for me to travel to their location. I recently received two separate calls this weekend from two different callers one who had seen me before and didn’t want my dog to be present during a session so he needed me to travel to him about thirty minutes away. Mind you I don’t drive nor do I own a car so when I offer outcall services I incur a cost both ways. He seemed stunned when I told him I could definitely visit him for an additional cost. I could hear him gasping …stunned that I needed compensation for my personal traveling expenses. He said oh what will it be like $15 or $20? I could feel how concerned he was so I assured him it might be even less depending upon the time I took my uber. Then he said he needs to see if his children will be out of the house and I suggested he simply come here to visit but he didn’t want my dog present which astounds me because my pyrenees is super gentle, calm and usually hides in a corner to nap quietly if I’m in session. He then asks via text if I offer “pegging” sessions and I offer prostate massage obviously which is listed on my website but I don’t list pegging as an option. I don’t own this type of harness and I remember telling him on his first and ( last) visit that he will need to buy this apparatus because I’m not investing in one. I personally feel if he needs this type of stimulation he should probably hire a she male instead of a woman. The whole text and conversation we had was cringe worthy. His attitude towards my dog even more cringe. I love my pets and I do understand some people have phobias which is why I’m happy to offer outcall services but then my clients need to realize I am paying for my ubers and it takes time out of my schedule to travel so appropriate compensation is expected. If a client wants to save money and pick me up that’s fine too but I’ll always think they are stingy by not offering a tip for my travel time. I am a professional treat me with kindness and respect instead of exploiting me. I might smile politely and be accommodating but I might choose not to work with that individual moving forward because the lack of respect for my time is a huge red flag.

So now you know a few of my triggers. One is asking for services not listed on my website http://www.tantrabutterfly.com and another is requesting me to visit you without paying a generous outcall fee of at least $100 for my travel time and personal costs incurred. If I have to travel a full hour or more to get to you add an additional fee on top of the $100 and you need to be staying at a highly rated hotel in order for me to feel comfortable or a beautiful private residence. My space will always have pets. No need for anyone to visit me who has allergies but then you must incur the expenses for an outcall fee or provide a space for us to meet for our session.

I will never compromise my need for safety. I do not like people seeking “deals ” or attempting to exploit me when they are able to afford my pricing structures.

In the meantime I end this narrative on a positive note. Thankfully the majority of people I worked with have been generous, thoughtful and polite. A few clients wrote me lovely reviews or told their friends to hire me so I could remain busy enough to stay in my field. I end with gratitude and wish to continue to attract sensitive, caring ❤ individuals seeking a beautiful healing journey. I wish to always keep my heart and tantra practice open to anyone who is touch starved or simply needs to relax and reconnect to their body and inner joy.

Currently seeking Sponsorship in the East Coast

My time in Chicago, Illinois has come to a close. Whoever has currently paid me a deposit will definitely see me in Evanston and Chicago up until the end of this April and then I’m actively going to seek a rideshare to a different city.

I’ve always wanted to live in Manhattan, New York but I didn’t think I could manage it financially all on my own. Whoever is reading my blog this week is welcome to reach out to me and follow through on their tantra session.

If you’ve been interested in working exclusively with me and you have a space for rent at a greatly reduced rate in exchange for my services or as an even barter/trade situation in the East or West Coast please call me directly 312 339 7707

Ivery had some strange dreams where I’m being encouraged to explore Boulder, Colorado or other parts of the West Coast. I’m definitely feeling as if my time in Illinois is over. I’ve noticed a huge drop in excitement and many people who sent me deposits get caught up in Financial issues or personal family crisis having to cancel their appointment with me completely.

I also noticed that business people who reach out to me with a week’s notice find out upon landing here that all their business plans have changed making it impossible for them to visit me.

If you have a desire to learn tantra from me and receive a combination of massage, sound healing, reiki and tantra massage from me please contact me either by phone or email 📧 Tantragoddessdiana@gmail.com

And of course here’s my website

You may show your support by donating to me here via Venmo @Diana-Grossman-1 or call me directly and I will share other ways you can donate to me. It’s too challenging for me now to continue to live in Illinois and Universe has been giving me clear signs that my time here is coming to a close unfortunately.

Please try and see me before the end of April and to whomever sent me an advanced deposit i guarantee that you will receive your session up until the end of the first week of May.
