Facilities and services are seriously out of touch, and management is chaotic and disappointing
The three days of staying in a certain hotel can be called the most disappointing accommodation experience in recent years. Although the hardware facilities of the executive twin room meet expectations, the chaotic service process and the lack of professionalism of the staff completely broke the expectations of Howard Johnson Hotel.
First of all, the advantages: the room is large, dry and wet are separated, the layout is relatively regular, and the bedding is relatively good. The surrounding fireworks are full, and you can eat delicious local food at an affordable price.
The hotel itself is far from the city, outside the third ring road, and it is not recommended to stay in the city center scenic spot. You can take a taxi to Sanxingdui, which is more convenient for 40 minutes.
Next, the disadvantages:
1. The executive rooms are not distinguished, there is no executive floor, and the administrative treatment is very little.
2. The hotel cooperates with the tour group. There are many tour groups staying every day, which is probably not a big deal for individual travelers. The sound insulation is slightly insufficient at the door. The tour group leaves early at the door and can hear the voices.
3. The service attitude is even worse than Hanting: I didn't meet a smiling employee. From the front desk to the guest room, the response speed is quite slow.
The service loophole was exposed on the first day of check-in: I chose an executive room and enjoyed executive treatment. As a twin room, it only provided a single frozen cake and coffee. When I questioned the front desk, the front desk said that I didn't know, and then I asked again. It seemed like a new employee who had just started working. Thinking of this room rate, I didn't insist. Later, because of the mistake in breakfast, a supervisor apologized and promised to make up two servings, but there was no sincere apology throughout the process. What is more confusing is the arbitrary change of coffee service rules: initially insisted that "executive lounge coffee is not available for take-out and delivery", but after the staff on duty went out, they took the initiative to deliver the drinks to the room. The coffee on the last day was actually a take-out package. Such an erratic service standard is hard to convince.
The noodle stall for breakfast the next day can be called a "disaster scene". The female employee of the noodle stall clearly asked for clear soup noodles, but there was only one red soup base when picking up the meal. Faced with the questioning, the employee not only did not immediately remedy the situation, but instead launched a lengthy explanation: "I saw you coming with another person, and thought you ordered for her." During the period, he even asked his colleagues to eat the wrong dishes, and claimed that "I haven't had breakfast yet." While waiting for the re-making time, he was seen chatting with colleagues and making noodles for them. The next day, when he asked for a soft-boiled egg on one side for breakfast, the employee actually asked back, "Why didn't you say so earlier? I didn't flip these eggs just now." This service attitude of blaming the responsibility on the customer is shocking. So I can predict your operation?
During the meal, black hair was found attached to the lettuce leaves. After reporting it to the supervisor who was patrolling, the other party simply apologized and hurried away. What is dramatic is that the employee involved took the initiative to "popularize science": "This is actually the cow hair in the beef topping." Such an absurd explanation is jaw-dropping, and the absurdity is refreshing. Although the inspection team promised to deliver fruit compensation that night and record the room number on site, it was not fulfilled until the final check-out. Only four cans of mini carbonated drinks were left as compensation when the room was cleaned. Oh, by the way, I also learned from the supervisor that the administrative benefits include midnight snacks or fruits, but you need to ask the front desk when you check in, what the benefits are, they will not tell you, otherwise they will think you have given up the benefits automatically.
The room service is also full of problems: the room that seems clean is actually covered with floating dust, and the old stains on the seats are clearly visible. Shampoo was not replenished for two consecutive days. The food delivery service in the executive lounge is even more delayed: the first wait was 30 minutes, and the second time it took 20 minutes after the phone call, and the frozen cakes delivered on the first and second days were the same, which made people doubt whether they were from the same batch.
Oh, there was a small episode when I checked out at the end, which made me give a good review and return 10 yuan. And there were no small gifts prepared, so I had to wait for them to run to the second floor to get them.
This stay exposed the systematic defects of hotel management: from the arbitrary changes in service standards to the serious lack of staff training; from the ineffective hygiene control to the perfunctory handling of customer complaints. As consumers, we understand that the service industry is bound to have omissions, but such a lack of professionalism and responsibility in the service team is really unworthy of the high-end positioning of "executive room with executive treatment". But it is true that I chose a new hotel far from the city and not prepared for high-end positioning because I was greedy for cheapness, so my expectations were too high.
