A few months back some friends and I decided to get a hotel room and take a long weekend vacation on the beach. The hotel we made our reservation with was one we were familiar with because we have stayed with them numerous times. It is a great ma and pa place right on the beach. Our favorite room is actually an apartment with a full kitchen.
We packed the van with kites for the beach, cards in case it rains and our bathing suits and we were off for our three day adventure.
After driving a few hours we arrived at our destination only to find our favorite room was not available. It wasn’t that they rented it out to someone else but it was being remodeled after some people had a wild time in it and basically destroyed the place.
I got talking to Rose the owner and she said this kind of thing happens more than she cared to admit. She said between the spring breakers, the weekend binge drinkers and some folks that just do not have respect for other people’s property, she “remodels” pretty often.
I asked if she had an inventory of each of the apartments, efficiencies and hotel rooms. She claimed she had thought about it, but couldn’t find the time. After I told her what Florida Inventory Services does, she asked me to call her later in the week and speak with her business partner about our services.
We were hired and because this hotel has a proper asset inventory, Rose and her partner are able to charge the culprits for items they destroy.
Be ready, be prepared and be safe.
