Weddings-Embassy Suites-Pittsburgh-RUN AWAY
If you are considering this hotel for anything, RUN TO ANOTHER HOTEL. They TOTALLY RUINED my wedding weekend and have the gaul to not step up and acknowledge it, but yet charged me. The ONLY thing we liked about this hotel was the two staff workers from the restaurant helping during our Rehearsal Dinner.
We had an out of town wedding and we all stayed here. As the bride and groom, we were put in a room that smelt like RAW SEWAGE. We had a corner room and were then stuffed in an inside room. Furthermore we had to ask to be moved a day later even after they were told about the smell and we had to move ourselves. The hospitality room had DIRTY tablecloths which we asked to be changed and we received a facial expression and a "What, do you really want me to change them" comment from the staff. Guest making reservations were told over a dozen times there was either no wedding there under our name or no roooms when a block of rooms were held five months prior to event. There is NO COMMUNICATION between the sales staff and the front desk. You were lucky if your reservation was there when you arrived. I was told my guests would be all at one side of the hotel; however they were not. One couple was put in the smoking section clearly on the other side of the other guests and they would not move them. We were given a hospitality room scheduled for the night we arrived; however the front desk knew nothing about it. We had to wait until after noon the next day to get into the room to set up. We missed participating in several events because of this.
Carpets left your feet black so don't walk in bare feet. They did not clean my room the day of my wedding so we came back to the room in shambles. Bed not made, no towels, etc. Just what the bride wants to do the night of her wedding, clean her hotel room, call for more towels, etc. They were even suppose to put out strawberries and the champagne, yet it was still in the fridge when we arrived in the room.
I personally made up Pittsburgh bags for each of my guests which were very expensive. We were given a list of which rooms they were in and a key. We were given a wrong room and the staff WOULD NOT GO AND RETREIVE THE BAG from them.
Upon check out, they put charges on my bill for another room in my party. I asked them to remove the charges and it was not the guests fault that the hotel MESSED UP so I asked KELLY THE MANAGER NOT TO CHARGE THEM; she told me that she WOULD NOT CHARGE THEM; however later I was at the desk and they were charging my other guest. I confronted her and she said nothing.
Upon checking out I asked Kelly for ALL MY CHARGES they applied to my Credit Card. She provided me with three pieces of paper (room charges (2 pages) and for the Rehearsal Dinner). I approved these charges yet when I checked my CC bill later there were several other charges on the bill from this hotel. I was APPAULED of how they could charge something that WAS NOT APPROVED BY ME. They just kept charging and charging.
We filed a complaint with the corporate office and per their policies the General Manager is to return your call within 3 days. It has been two weeks and NO CALL. I can continue with stories, but I think you have the idea - DO NOT STAY HERE OR HAVE AN EVENT HERE.
THIS HOTEL HAS NO CUSTOMER SERVICE, NO COMMUNICATION, LACK OF RESPECT, LAZY PEOPLE, ETC. They all need to be FIRED.
