I recently stayed at this hotel with high expectations, given its reputation. Unfortunately, my experience during check-in was extremely disappointing due to the behavior of the front desk manager, Mr. Richard. While I do understand that I arrived earlier than the standard check-in time, I was hoping for a bit of flexibility and consideration. I politely explained my situation and kindly requested to be accommodated a little earlier so I could rest. However, Mr. Richard was unhelpful and dismissive from the beginning. Instead of showing understanding or offering alternatives, he repeatedly said “no” without even attempting to assist in any way. I am fully aware of hotel policies and check-in procedures, but I also believe that part of a manager’s role is to assess situations with empathy and find solutions when possible. Sadly, Mr. Richard failed to do that. His tone was cold and unwelcoming, which is not what any guest should experience—especially in a hotel that prides itself on service. I strongly suggest that management looks into this matter seriously and provides the necessary guidance or disciplinary action. A guest’s experience is deeply impacted by the way staff—especially those in leadership positions—handle such moments. This incident left me feeling disappointed and disrespected. I hope the hotel takes this feedback as an opportunity to improve, and that no future guest will have to go through the same treatment.
