The tent was set up on time and looked great. Tables, chairs, and tablecloths looked great.
BUT - When they came to take it down, one of the guys brought a backpack with him (red flag). Luckily my tenant was home, and watched him pick up a cellphone (one that one of my party guests had dropped and thought he had lost) and put it in his backpack. I confronted the owner and he was able to get the phone back from his employee. I had to drive down to Ithaca to get it back and return it to my guest.
I can only assume that the employee who took the phone "cleans up" after weddings, parties, etc. at the expense of party guests who leave their phones, wallets, watches, etc. on or around the tent, never to see them again.
What started out good left a horrible taste in my mouth. What else has this employee of Rick's taken that doesn't belong to him?
Had he done the right thing and placed the cell phone on my porch or mailbox with a small note, this would have been a 5+ star review, and a small reward for honesty would have been sent to the young man who found the phone.
As it is, I cannot recommend Rick's Rental World based on this experience. TRUST is everything! read more
