Customer Service Needs Improvement, etc.
Nice things first: 1. The room was spacious and clean. 2. Location was excellent. There was even a Denny's in front (should have gone there instead)
Now, a few disappointments:
A refresher on customer service training might help.
1. Booking - We asked if the breakfast was buffet style, she said "Yes, there is order style too, but there is buffet". We prefer buffets because of the ready choices, no waiting. Guess what, no buffet. Order style, but there was only one server and you have to wait a long time. Next day, same thing. We had to call into the kitchen to ask "Is anyone working?" I guess because the server was by herself, she gets overwhelmed so you don't get your order as requested.
2. On the first night, the jacuzzi was shooting water close to the ceiling and one part of the room was getting wet. I called in next morning to pls. fix it when we leave for the day. Evening came, jacuzzi was not fixed. Water squirting all over. Scrambled for towels, which by the way was good for only one person. Called front desk, she said there was no record of the request or complaint. She called maintenance. This was the reply: "Our maintenance guy is half asleep and what he is mumbling is...just adjust the jets." (She could have said it in another way to cover for their inefficiency.) Resourceful person me, thought of that and everything else to make it work before I even made the call. What were they thinking????? Needless to say, no jacuzzi for the two-night stay. And to make matters worse, front desk called at the middle of the night, apparently to answer another complaint, turned out - she dialed the wrong room.
3. With the price they want for the rooms, I think customers deserve more. We had stayed at other hotels with similar rates too but service is exceptional.
Perhaps it was a good thing that the front desk person did not ask how are stay was, when I checked out. He was stone faced and did not say a word. I wonder if he knew what was coming LOL!!!
