My colleague was heading to NYC for a conference and told me they were staying at the Hotel Indigo and needed some swag for an event they were hosting.
So I google Hotel Indigo and call to ask if I can ship my items there. They tell me yes, and confirm the mailing address and how to address the package Hotel Indigo/Guest Name.
I did so.
I sent the packages out and they were delivered on Saturday.
I learn from my colleague that she was staying at another Hotel Indigo 50 Trinity (OOPS) but it is not far from there and she would walk to the hotel to get them. Shouldn't be an issue, they SHOULD have held onto the boxes, yeah? I have done this numerous times in my life for other companies and myself and my dad when he traveled, I had to ship him his credit card and he got it safely!
She went the next day after they were delivered... Sunday and was informed that they did not receive any packages???
I have been calling every day since and asking for a manager.
I keep talking to the same person over and over, repeating my story.
Big issue here, no one can get hold of anyone at the front desk or concierge. EVER... I have called numerous times and never reach either, and twice now was transfered to a person in the back office.
She is in the same dang building but not near the front desk.
I am informed that because my employee was not staying at that location "it would be considered lost and found".
So I ask, "okay, where is your lost and found?"
I am again put on hold.
Today is my 3rd day calling about the packages, hoping they'll show up, maybe the receptionist who took them has clocked in, however I cannot get through to reception.
I am on hold while they figure out what they do with their "lost and found".
It sounds to me like they thought it would be a free for all, they saw the word "Swag" on my box and thought they'd open it and keep the stuff inside.
I hope they were disappointed, it was nothing major, we're a non profit magazine, so they got a bunch of magazines and some reusable shopping bags and bamboo utensils.
Maria in the back office did all she could, she put me on hold numerous times calling the front desk and getting no where. Poor thing she probably deals with their messes all the time.
To me, this shows me that the front desk of this hotel chain lacks in training and proceedures and is dishonest as well.
If you stay here, do so at your own risk, always keep your purse, wallet and bags close on you (I mean you are in NY so that goes without saying). But if you're from a company or organization and or just need to send something ahead of time beware.
I also cannot imagine, if I am a guest and cannot get front desk or concierge on the phone? horrible service if you ask me. negative stars if I could
