Investigation Discovers Some Hotel Rooms Have Hidden Cameras Installed
A Pennsylvania family was horrified to discover a hidden camera recording them in their hotel room, but are they the only ones being watched? The Wallace family said they found a concealed recording device in their room at a Virginia Beach hotel over Memorial Day weekend. Angela Wallace, her husband and 11-year-old daughter found the camera pointed at the shower during their stay at The Knights Inn and Suites. The Inside Edition investigative team went to the hotel and approached the manager.
Marriott Oakland City Center California -- A Quality Hotel for Corporate Meetings
Real estate developers paid for my room. I videoed their talk of estates in exclusive resort communities -- gated, guarded, served by crews of landscapers and street cleaners. Mansions in mountain resorts. Homes with swimming pools and docks on the coast of Florida. Sedona, Beverly Hills, Miami.
I could not afford this hotel or the restaurants or the room service.
Tea -- $5.50.
In Kenya, I tried to tell the tea pickers of the prices paid by Americans for the tea the Kenyans grew and harvested for market.
The Kenyans get 14 cents US for a kilo of fresh picked green tea. The raw tea then goes to a processing center, then to Mombasa for the auctions. Brokers sell the tea by the 1,000 kilo lot. From the port of Mombasa, the tea goes to factories in Europe and the United States.
In the Marriott, $5.50 for tea. The people who grew that tea and harvested it, of that $5.50, they got less than 1 US cent.
I don't know the cost of the room. The food? That went on the room charge. The corporation paid.
I videoed this scan of the room with a cellphone.
--- 0 ----
This is the response of the manager. I suggested they buy their tea direct from Kenyan tea growers / pickers. The Guest Relations Manager responded --
Dear VideoAdventures,
We are constantly evaluating and evolving the way we do business to create a memorable stay for our guests, and with an overwhelming response from our guests that local Oakland cuisine is preferred ....
Did they buy their tea from an Oakland grower?
