携程网(Ctrip)住店用户 1***0 2018-08-12To whom it may concern, I am here to complaint about my awful experience during my stay in Le Royal Meridien Shanghai at Aug 11th to 12th. I lived in room 6007. I was extremely angry not only because of the poor attitude from the front desk and the delay of my check in due to your employees work, but because the guest service manager completely ignore his employees fault and blame that towards me, a guest that books three room in your hotel but could not go to sleep until midnight.
The procedure is as followings. I book three room on the website and arrive at the hotel at 2:30 pm at Aug 11th, the front desk told me that the royal suite I book is not ready to check in and I would have to wait an hour until I could get in. What a ridiculous service! 40 minutes after, I finally got my keys and it is 3.10pm now. I couldn't imagine if there is another five-star hotel in the world that make their customers to wait for their royal room until 3.10 pm.
As two rooms are reserved for my friends, I took the keys and go upstairs to check those room as I am not confident in the hotel service now. I check the king bed room and it is all set. I didn't check the following room and I wish I did as later it become a big issue.
I welcomed my friend and give them key cards, then I go to prepare the following events to welcome them to Shanghai. However, 10 minutes after I leave the hotel, one of my friend told me he couldn't open his door! I hurried back to hotel and the front desk told me this card is another room’s key and was past-due. I asked the front desk how could this happen and what he said makes me extremely angry and force me to write this complaint letter. Here is what he said, “It may because the guest who lived in our hotel yesterday put his key on the front desk and you accidentally get it.” His answer deny his own fault and also, intolerable, imply I am a thief that stole the card from other guests. I felt raging. It is not about a service in the hotel, but about my reputation. I asked them to check the monitoring center and they said they wouldn't use it unless big events happened. I asked again and again because I want to check out who is the person that should take the responsibility and get justice for myself. The guest service manager finally agree and after he go to the monitor room, he said the camera did not cover the front desk. Then I asked them to check how the previous guest return his key and how I take this key and go to check my room under the elevator monitor. They still said they could not find the image. Then I asked them to record the video in the monitor room and let me see it. They rejected my please. It was at midnight and I felt extremely tired and angry. The manager rejected all my needs and did not apology to me during the entire procedure.
I once thought I am a “royal” guest here in the meridian hotel and will enjoy a fantastic evening with my friends, but as I been to the hotel, the manger implies me to be a thief that stole the cards for my own room, the front desk denied his own fault, the cleaner made me to wait for 40 minutes even I went there 30 minutes after the check in time. It is the most awful, unpleasant, insulting living experience I have ever had, and it is not necessary to include” one of “ here. I beileve this experience is not what your companies aims to take to your guests. I hope I could get a resonable results and a formal apology from night shift manager, guest service manager (Brain Chen), and duty manager.
