Well, I finally spoke to a manager today, and instead of helping sort out the issue, he wanted to argue. Really save yourself the hassle. I understand mistakes happen, but address it and fix it instead of ignoring the customer and making the customer fix your mistake. I sent the following email to their corporate, but I doubt they will care. Hilton for the stay!
Hello,
I'm writing to you to express my extreme disappointment with your hotel. I went to a training on June 4-6. The host of the training was to cover hotel fees and parking. When my husband asked Valet for the car, they told him their systems were down and needed a credit card from him. He explained that we were there for a training and the host was covering it. They told him we wouldn't be charged and that it would be on the master bill for the host. They billed us anyway. My husband called, and they said it would be removed. It was not. We both have been calling all month, and no calls are returned. I spoke to someone in accounting on 6/29 who saw the charge on my husband's credit card and said it would be investigated. My husband left messages for the following managers: Christy and Imelda and spoke to Priscilla and Leslie. I sent a message via Yelp and instagram to the hotel since phone calls weren't working. I called today and spoke to a manager, Charlie, who was extremely dismissive and didn't bother to understand what I was saying. He said that it looks like the charge was taken off for the host, and I got a better deal. Regardless of the amount, the fact is that it is evident they charged the wrong person. They should reverse the credit for the host and take off ours. We weren't supposed to pay at all. I explained that no one returns are calls and made him aware of the names of the people we have contacted. His only answer was dispute it, dispute it. First of all $40 isn't a huge amount but now, when I count all the time I've wasted, including this email and filing a dispute, this is unacceptable. I will contact our host that regularly does trainings there and let them know they should consider a different venue. I don't stay at many Hyatt properties and definitely will not in the future. I stay at Hilton, were this dispute would have been sorted out on the first call. I also tried calling your corporate office but was referred back to the hotel. No one wants to assist when an issue arises. Probably nothing will come from this email, but I will post this on any social platform and warn others. It should not take from June 8th to July 28th (50days) to get an answer that I only got because I called and not because they bothered to call me. Do better!
