One Week Stay
By Charles, 10/03/09
I travel frequently and love the Embassy Suites. I stay in them every chance I get. This time I booked into the Albuquerque Suites just off I25 for a week's vacation with my wife and we expected the same high quality treatment. For the most that is exactly what we got. The front desk staff, concierge, dining room staff were way above average; however, unfortunately we can't say the same for the housekeeping. For our first four days our room was either partially cleaned and amade up and on one day it wasn't made up at all. After numerous complaints we still didn't get a clean room. On the fifth day the housekeeping floor supervisor returned from vacation and things got somewhat better although I know the room wasn't vacuumed once. On the fourth day we were about out of patience and I was going to change hotels; however, my wife decided to see it through. One thing that truly offended me was when she called down on the fourth day and asked to speak to the manager about the recurring problem. She spoke with a young assistant manager who was not only condencending, but tried to excuse the problem by making it appear that we were over demanding and that he was soory that the room wasn'tt up to "our" standards. I don't think that having a clean bathroom is too much to ask. As I said, with the exeption of the housekeeping problem, overall the hotel and serving staff are exceptional. The Hammond Corporation needs to look into the housekeeping problem at this property before it brings down the reputation of a good hotel.
