No, I'd be totally angry.
Why would they leave her alone in a strange city in a hotel???? She is ONLY 11- capable or not, here in Canada you cannot leave a child under 12 alone. What if some pervert knocked on the door pretending to be housekeeping? Sorry to scare you, but I watch enough crime shows to be scared into thinking of those things. Someone watching the three of them show up and seeing two leave- would know that she may be alone upstairs.
Now unless her dad and aunt got run over, there is no reason why they couldn't have at least called to say why they were running behind. Was there a huge traffic jam, forest fire, abduction by aliens? You did not send your daughter to Colorado to hang around in a hotel room. Why did they not bring her to see the flowers?
And I cannot believe the hotel treating her that way! Poor thing, I hope she's ok. To not bend the rules a little to make sure a minor gets a meal is pretty poor on the hotel's side. Perhaps you could call and speak to the manager directly?
Did they ever make it back? Did they say why they were delayed and didn't care to give her a call?
I certainly would be weary of letting her go on another visit any time soon....

I work in the hospitality business and the response you got from the hotel was completely inappropriate. I don’t care if they don’t start serving food until midnight. They can make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for a child! I strongly encourage you to write a letter to the Hotel Manager detailing your concerns and your disappointment. You should get some resolution from it.
Kim, when did those two negligent IDIOTS finally get back?
I'm mad for you...and upset that your dd is hungry and alone in a hotel room...what kind of idiot is he?

Well, he showed up at about 12:30 their time.

Left his eleven year old alone for HOURS without FOOD!!!
Holy Crap! I'd have someone down there in heartbeat to be sure she was fed (hotel employee goes to McD's and get's a fat credit card tip or SOMETHING) and then I'd be CERTAIN dad heard about it. Note would be taken of date and circumstances with a clear warning to him to not allow it to happen again.
OMG! I am steamed myself just thinking how mad I'd be.
You are NOT overreacting!
