Mum captures 'creepy' moment receptionist at Benidorm hotel sneaks into room to sniff and steal her thong
An OnlyFans model felt 'violated' after a hotel worker went into her room and stole a thong from her 'dirty' laundry bag.
Rara Armstrong, 39, was left feeling 'uncomfortable' on her holiday in Benidorm after a member of hotel staff tried to make advances with her the entire time.
The mum-of-one took her 11-year-old son with her, and the two were 'really excited' about the holiday together.
When she arrived at the Ambassador Playa II hotel, who she booked through LoveHolidays, she was confused to find that the hotel key she had been given wasn't working.

When she went down to reception to confront the problem, she was greeted by a man who worked on the desk, who swiftly asked for her number and asked if he could take her out.
After hard-passing on his offer, she noticed hours later that the man had used her booking details to find her OnlyFans account and subscribe.
Following this, she felt very uneasy around the complex.
After messaging her on the platform - revealing his identity - she asked him to 'leave her alone'.
On the final night of her holiday, she came back to her room after dinner to find a bottle of Prosecco that the staff member had dropped off.
She said: "I thought 'what the hell?' So I messaged him on my OnlyFans and said 'did you just drop some wine off in my room?'
"He said 'yeah, I just wanted to say sorry for upsetting you'. I stupidly thought 'okay, fair enough'."
When they headed back out for the evening, she set up her son's iPad to capture if the man had been back inside the room.
And to her horror, he had entered again just 15 minutes later and was seen snooping through her things, before grabbing one of her thongs, sniffing it and pocketing it.
She said: "It made me feel horrible, I felt so violated. He basically comes in and he starts going through my stuff. He goes off camera and there's a rustling.
"He went through my laundry bag and got a thong that I'd worn and started sniffing them. He sniffed them a few times. He carries on snooping, I don't know what he was looking for.
"As he leaves, he sniffs them again and puts them in his back pocket. It was crazy. I wasn't expecting something like that."
LoveHolidays apologised to Rara, ensuring that the man had been fired immediately.
However, they are refusing to refund any of her holiday as she failed to report the incident to them or police before returning home.
The mum said she didn't report the incident to the police as it happened on the last night of their holiday, and she didn't want them to miss their flight.
Giving her advice to others, she said: "It's been a real nightmare getting any sort of justice from it. My advice to others would just be to be really vigilant. If someone is being creepy towards you, report them straight away."
A Loveholidays spokesperson said: “We are very sorry to hear of Ms Armstrong’s experience while on holiday.
"Unfortunately we were not made aware of the incident while she was on holiday, so we were unable to provide her with support or advice on making a police report during her stay.
"We have fully investigated the issue with the hotel and are confident the appropriate action has been taken to ensure this does not happen again.”
