Sorry, you lost us!!

Well let me say first that we stay at this hotel about once a month to visit our daughter and her husband, who live nearby. We have never had a problem before, however we found out just how much the customer matters to them on this last stay. I had accidentally left a dress hanging in the closet when we left and asked my son-in-law to see if he could get it for me. After my son-in-law asked if he could get the dress, the concierge went off somewhere briefly and returned saying that there was no dress anywhere. They then went on to accuse me of taking the dress and not realizing it. (I think I would know if I grabbed my dress or not...it's not a small piece of jewelry). After my son-in-law told me that they didn't have the dress, I called them up myself to make a complaint. They told me that I took the dress and to check my bags. Let me tell you one thing about customer service from someone who knows a little bit about it.. if a customer comes to you with a complaint, please act like you care. It costs more to put the blame on the customer than it does to offer an apology or a consolation. Everyone knows you can see who comes in and out of the room to and rather than saying "we'll get to the bottom of this", its just easier to blame the customer, isn't it? Well sorry Garden Inn of Sacramento, you wont be seeing us or our dollars any more.
