Service
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 11/18/04
I made a reservation at this hotel 2 months prior to my arrival. I did it via phone, so I didn't have an email confirmation. Most hotels can find you in their system thru your last name, so I was not too concerned that I didn't have my confirmation number. I called a week prior to my arrival and was told my reservation did not exist. They found it hard to believe that I didn't have a confirmation number. When I made the reservation, I was quoted a price of $130. When I was told about my NON existing reservation, I was told the price would be $209 and that $130 was never a price they offered. Hence, they were basically calling me a liar. I know I made the reservations and I know I made them at this hotel, b/c I got this as a gift for someone, and when I booked a concert we were going to, I immediately booked the hotel and then made a card explaining the gift, including our accomodations. The reservations manager, and the girl at the front desk did nothing to help me, nor did they seem concerned that THEY screwed up my reservation. Possibly making it for the wrong day?? I had given them my credit card information and everything. Where did that go??? Being very upset about this, I got onto their website and clicked "Contact Us" and sent them an email of my dis-satisfaction. Hard Rock Hotel Int'l apparently was where the email was sent, and they took NO responsibility for the Chicago location, saying they weren't part of Hard Rock Int'l. Why did the email go to them then? Who knows. All I know is THEY screwed up. They did NOTHING to help me. And I made a reservation somewhere else. Apparently, the Int'l location forwarded my email to their contact at this hotel, but I have yet to hear back from them. If you don't want your reservation screwed up, don't stay here. Customer service seems next to nothing. They obviously don't care. Every time I called, I kept getting the run around, and I was wasting money and my time, making long distance calls. They don't care. I didn't even stay here, and although I looked forward to it, I will never stay here, or another Hard Rock Hotel. If this is the type of service they want to give, good luck to them in keeping customers!!
