WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EXPERIENCE EVER!!!!
So we were 10 people and we booked 4 rooms via our tour company. When we walk in from 5 hour bus ride with 6 kids who were passing out on the couch sleeping and whining, the lady at the reception (whom I assume was the manager, short cut hair) told us curtly that we can’t leave unless our card is charged.
Background story, our tour company booked this hotel. We don’t even speak the local language. So our tour guide explained everything, gave them their credit card and left expecting us to settle down. Like they had in the previous 3 cities and their hotels we had been to. The front desk lady, extremely unprofessional snapped back at us “you can’t move from here unless I charge your card”. We got taken aback from her tone. Were we running away? Anyways we call our tour company and some confusion from the hotel part. It got taken care of. No apology for the sharp tone by that lady. We were disappointed, but we got checked in our rooms and were happy to settle down.
Nice rooms. Seemed clean and upgraded. We were happy.
Then one of the rooms which slept 4 people. The AC suddenly turned off at 12:30am. Date is July 16, 2024 and there is a heatwave. We call front desk and got answered by them that there is absolutely no room available, everything is booked and they “might” give us another room at 3am if these customers don’t show up by 2am. I had a 5 year and an 8 year old in that room with me.
I told my husband I will go downstairs and speak to them and plead if they can make an exception.
Downstairs I try to reason with this long haired guy claiming his name was Riaz or Riyaad if he could come and take a look at the AC or move us to another room. I could not bother our family traveling with us because
a) this was not their problem
and b) it was 1am by that time and they were long sleeping
He was so rude! He told me he had already told my husband we “might” get another room after 3am if the other parties don’t show up, all rooms booked. I asked him again if he could do something, move us to one of the empty rooms; who was bound to show up at 3am, we had kids with us.
He started throwing up his hands in the air in frustration that he couldn’t do anything, it’s not his fault the AC stopped working in a heat wave and he will call me at 3am like he told my husband over the phone.
I was in utter shock the way he was talking to me. I told him he was unprofessional as he pushed past me to go on his cigarette break while I was talking to him and his tone was getting harsher and harsher by minute. I told him he was being very disrespectful, I didn’t want to speak to him anymore so I wanted him to call his manager. He called me crazy lady. Who the heck speaks to their customer like that!!! I deal with clients in my IT profession, no way we would dream of speaking to our customer in that manner or tone.
He started saying stuff in his language angrily, throws his cigarette out on the street with force and PUSHES ME WITH HIS BODY TO THE SIDE to his desk to call his manager. I almost fell, I’m not even kidding, I told him there was a camera there for what he did. He smirked that it probably didn’t even capture that where I was standing.
His manger on the phone asks me; am I the same lady who spoke to her angrily about a parking or a car in the morning. I was like no! I didn’t even speak to her in the morning, it was my husband and his brother in law making reservations. These people are nuts!!! Then she goes on like, I’m having some “small issues with my AC”, I tell her I’m not having any small issues with your AC, it just shut down and this man is being very very rude. She gets a little confused (no idea what he told her is language) and then just says, “oh like he said all rooms are booked, we can’t do anything”.
Riaz started snatched the phone from me via its cord so hard while I was STILL talking to his manager that it got pulled on my earring and started bleeding.
I AM SO SO SO DISAPPOINTED WITH THE CUSTOMER SERVICE OF THIS HOTEL! Issues happen; this is NOT the way how you handle them!
