I recently stayed at your hotel, checking in at 2:00 PM for a one-night stay. Unfortunately, my experience was far from satisfactory due to several issues:
1. Room Hygiene: The room was not well-maintained. There was a noticeable smell of cigarettes, which made the stay uncomfortable.
2. Unsolicited Food Delivery: About an hour after check-in, while I was resting, a staff member knocked on my door and delivered food. I asked if it was complimentary, and your staff confirmed “yes,” before requesting my signature.
3. Billing Dispute at Checkout: At checkout, I was informed I needed to pay for that food. When I explained that I had confirmed with your staff and was told it was complimentary, I was told I should have “double-checked with reception.” This is highly unreasonable—your own staff assured me it was complimentary, and I acted on that information.
4. Poor Resolution & Wasted Time: I made it clear I was willing to pay if a proper bill was provided, but the way this was handled—arguing for over an hour—was frustrating. Instead of acknowledging the mistake, your staff blamed me for not confirming twice.
This incident, combined with the poor room hygiene, left me with a very negative impression of your hotel. I hope you will review your internal communication processes and staff training to prevent misleading guests and causing such disputes in the future.
