A few weeks ago we stayed at your hotel. I don’t usually leave comments, but this time I need to. With sadness and disappointment, I’m leaving this review.
At reception there was a Latina girl - I don’t remember her name, I believe she was from Colombia. We stayed there for five days, and from the very first day, with her warm welcome, we could tell what kind of professional she was.
However, one afternoon, while my husband and I were near the front desk, this young woman approached another staff member to ask a simple question. The woman she approached worked in housekeeping. I don’t know her name, but I will describe her: she was large, tall, with an unpleasant smile, and quite intimidating - her energy felt harsh despite an attempt at friendliness. Later, this woman started mocking her, and suddenly she ran behind the front desk, shouting grotesque words that I don’t even dare to repeat. You could hear yelling and banging - it was clear this woman had lost control.
We couldn’t do anything about such an unfortunate event because of our age, but fortunately, the police arrived. We thought that woman would be arrested, however, nothing happened.
What’s most regrettable and made me angry is that I called the hotel a few days ago to ask about the Latina girl. I was told they had no knowledge of any Latina staff member. I sincerely hope she is alright, because I will make it my task to find out what happened to her, and if something did happen, we have a video of that day. Of what occurred and the mistreatment and abuse she suffered.
As for the housekeeping woman, I hope she’s dismissed, as I cannot imagine this was her first instance of such behavior toward colleagues.
