  • Complaints AFTER leaving hotel....

    Never fails. Guest will stay at the hotel all weekend (maybe even all week), not say one word about any "issues" to us, and then make a complaint about us AFTER checking out, usually weeks later.
    Some idiot who stayed here a few weekends back called the 1-800 number and complained about us. He claimed that the pool was too cold (gee, the other 100 people staying here that weekend thought it was fine). He said that no one fixed his broken toilet seat (was never reported, I do repairs and checked it today, all is good). Then he made a stupid claim, one that makes no sense, he wrote "whole time there all I saw was one employee". Is this dude for real? Is he really claiming that the hotel was run by ONE person all weekend? And finally, he says that "neighborhood" children were running up and down the halls. No, there were no neighborhood children, just children from a various schools staying here, hence the school buses in the parking lot.
    If the children were bothering him, a simple phone call would have taken care of that. Or we could have checked the pool if he thought it was cold, who knows, maybe it was and no one else complained.
    Point is, LET US KNOW, WE CAN'T READ MINDS!

    Now I have to waste my time sending this moron an apology letter (its generic, all I do is change the name on the letter and print it, no specifics at all). I would send him a sarcastic letter, but I did that once, got my parents into a lot of trouble with the franchise directors.

    I think the person just trying to scam for a refund. You could still write an apology that would be sarcastic to everyone else but not to the scammer. That does take skill and you have to judge how oblivious the recipetant would be.

      Lord, much sympathy. My hotel doesn't have generic replies, but if I go into the Word documents I can find various "apology" letters from the owners. Mostly saying "we're very sorry this happened, but you totally didn't tell us before you left." In far more diplomatic fashions.

      One man tried to say that the fridge in his room fell on him and to get reimbursed for the room --two months after the fact.

        Could smell the BS on that one a mile away. It's quite easy to be seriously injured or killed by a falling refrigerator. How could he not be injured? You would think if that were to happen to someone they would raise holy hell in the room that would make the other guests contact the front desk. Did the manager have the sense to sniff out the brown stink emanting from the man when he said that the fridge fell on him?
