Poco Inn and Suites, Port Coquitlam, B.C.

BEWARE! On an overnight visit to see a friend in BC, I stayed here one night and a week later received a receipt for a $300 charge on my card and a letter saying a blanket was missing after my stay. I WOULD NEVER TAKE ANY ITEMS FROM THE ROOM!!! That's theft!

I checked out with my small bag and had a conversation with the gal at the front desk about the beautiful bridges in the area. Wonder if they asked her about seeing me with a blanket.... Obviously NOT!

"Managers" were unable to let me talk to their boss and I could hear them coaching each other while I was on the phone with them about putting me off with nonsense about conducting an "investigation". But finally she admitted they didn't intend to investigate because they "trust" their housekeeping staff. I ended up having to cancel a credit card, and dispute the bogus charges with my banking organization.

Don't risk staying here. Or if you do, treat it like a rental car, and make sure the front desk does an inventory with you before you take occupancy of the room. There are robes and slippers that probably go "missing" and are also charged to unsuspecting guests who fall victim to this.

BTW Couldn't tell you what a $300 blanket looks like.... I don't recall anything that posh or remarkable about the bedding. In fact, in hindsight, I think the blanket may have been missing before I arrived, as I remember being cold during the night.
