I left my camera in the hotel for legal advice.

If something is lost in the hotel, and it is not caused by your own reasons, the hotel should bear the main responsibility and compensate you for the loss of the camera. Generally speaking, public security organs should be able to solve such disputes. If your camera is expensive and you have time, you can find local media to report it publicly. I don't think this hotel will disregard its reputation because of a camera.
