On December 26, a group of three of us came to Qingdao to negotiate some business with this hotel group. Based on the principle of proximity, we chose to stay in this hotel. Unexpectedly, it was a very bad hotel experience. The hotel's services need to be improved, otherwise it will not be worthy of the positioning of a high-end hotel.
After checking into the hotel on December 26 and paying the deposit, I entered the hotel room. There were only two glass bottles of water in the room. At that time, I didn’t know whether the water was free water in the hotel room, so I called the front desk to give it to the person who had just checked in. Several bottles of water were delivered to the three rooms. However, after about 10 minutes, it still hadn’t been delivered, so I called the front desk again to inform them of the need for water delivery. After another 10 minutes or so, no one ignored me, so I left the room and walked around the hotel because there was nothing around the hotel. Shop, then returned to the hotel. In the corridor of the hotel room, I saw the room attendant delivering water on a cart (it was the glass bottle of water in the room. I guess this should be the free water given by the guest room). I was also asking if other rooms wanted water. I asked for water in my room, and the waiter replied that it had already been delivered. However, when I returned to the room, I found that there were still two bottles of water, and there was no increase. After communicating with my two colleagues, only one said that one bottle of water had been delivered to the room. Water, another colleague's room originally only had a bottle of water. Because I knew this was free water and there wasn’t that much demand, I didn’t care about it anymore.
After breakfast the next day, because I felt that the glass bottles in the room were quite unique, I asked the front desk clerk if I could take a glass bottle with me when I checked out. I was told that this glass bottle was not free. After returning to the room, I packed my luggage and went to check out. The front desk clerk said that the deposit could be returned in about half an hour after checking the room. After checking out, I took a taxi to the airport to prepare for my return trip. As soon as I arrived at the airport, the hotel staff called me and told me that there were two glass bottles missing from my room. Each glass bottle cost 150 yuan and would be deducted from the deposit. After consulting with my colleagues who were traveling with me, none of them took away the glass bottles from the hotel. Therefore, I called the hotel staff back to inform them that no one had taken the glass bottle in the room. The hotel staff still insisted that I had taken it and asked me to confirm on the phone that I agreed to deduct the 300 yuan glass bottle fee from the deposit. I was told Explicitly refuse. I clearly told the hotel staff that there were only two glass bottles in the room, but I insisted that there were four in the room. Is this an act of blackmail? Have you called up hotel monitoring? Do you want to ask the room attendant for the day? Why was I asked to agree to pay for the glass bottle without clear investigation? After finding that the communication with the hotel staff was fruitless, I had to tell the hotel group staff about the matter, and the deposit was successfully returned, so I thought about asking the hotel what was going on. However, the hotel staff's answer made me furious. He replied, "I have been notified that the deposit will be refunded. It is difficult to investigate this matter any further." What does this mean? After receiving the notification, there is no need to investigate further? Are your hotel surveillance systems just decorations? Have you ever asked the floor attendant which room the water was delivered to? Is this a difficult thing to do? Is your hotel's ability to handle incidents so low-end? Is it still worthy of being called a high-end brand hotel under French Accor?
I hope this matter will be taken seriously by the hotel's senior management. Although the hardware of your hotel is good, if the service ability is of this level, it cannot be complimented. Also, if the free water bottle in the hotel costs 150 yuan per bottle, it is recommended to replace it with ordinary bottled water. Otherwise, other guests will accidentally break such a valuable glass bottle, and they will not be willing to pay for it. Do you think there is any truth to it?
