Terrible Customer Experience
By Brock, 11/10/09
We were given a gift certificate to the Settlers Inn worth several hundred dollars as a wedding present from the Best Man of our Wedding. Unfortunately somewhere between the wedding and coming home, we misplaced the gift certificate. Thinking that this was something that could be easily remedied my wife called the Inn, described the problem, and looked to the Inn’s staff for direction/assistance. To our dismay, after 4 calls, repeated broken promises, and NOT ONE returned callback; I called the Inn as well. I was told that although they were aware of the problem, that they did not keep records of our gift certificate (it was paid for with a credit card – how do you not have records!), and that there was nothing that the Inn could or would do to help us; that the problem was OURS in that we lost the gift certificate. I explained that this was not the way to conduct a business, and that I would be informing my Best Man of the circumstances so that he could dispute the credit card charge for the gift certificate and that I would also be writing about my terrible experience on the internet so that others did not suffer through the same poor service.
