Unprofessional and Unhelpful Staff During Formula 1 Event
Our recent stay at the Radisson Hotel was incredibly disappointing, primarily due to the unprofessional and unhelpful staff. The hotel's management of guest transfers during the Formula 1 road closures was a complete failure, and the staff's attitude made a stressful situation even worse.
The hotel had set up a designated meeting point to transfer guests, but the receptionist provided no information about its location. When we called for assistance, she refused to share our number with the staff at the meeting point, claiming they only use private numbers. It's completely unacceptable that a hotel operation for a major event doesn't have a working number for guests to contact their own staff. The receptionist seemed to have no idea where the meeting point was herself and was completely unhelpful.
The situation escalated when we were near the meeting point but found the road blocked. Even with our luggage just a few meters away, the hotel staff, including the driver of their free shuttle, refused to provide any assistance. The driver would not even move his vehicle seven meters to help us with our bags. This level of rudeness and lack of basic courtesy is shocking.
For a hotel to operate successfully during a large-scale event, their staff must be knowledgeable and prepared to assist guests. The staff at this Radisson failed on every level. Their unhelpful and unprofessional behavior turned what should have been a seamless process into a frustrating and negative experience.
