Part 1.  You are the owner of a local hotel, Comfort Stay Suites, located in a downtown city neighborhood.  While Sara was a guest in your hotel, a thief broke into the room and stole her luggage, clothes, watch, and several rings while Sara was out of the hotel.

Comfort Stay issues room keys, but no coded access cards, to all guests.  Rooms have key locks in the door knobs and deadbolts that operate from the inside only.   Comfort Stay employs on-site security guards, but does not have security video cameras in the hotel.  Comfort Stay provides a locked safe at the reception desk for guests to store small items.  There is a sign posted in all rooms, stating  “Comfort Stay takes no responsibility for theft, other loss or damage to guests’ personal property during their stay at the hotel”. 

5 years ago, all of a guest’s property was stolen from the guest’s room at Comfort Stay.  Comfort Stay reimbursed the guest for the losses; the guest did not file any legal claims.  Immediately following this incident, Comfort Stay hired on-site security guards.  There have been no other thefts or other crimes at the hotel until the theft of Sara’s property.   

a.  As owner of Comfort Stay Suites, you believe you have no liability for any of Sara’s losses.   

Analyze and discuss whether Sara has a valid legal claim against Comfort Stay and will likely recover damages for all the stolen property. Why or why not? 

Apply common law negligence principles using only the materials in class; do not research state law or use outside resources in your analysis.
