I contacted the hotel prior to my arrival and informed them that I would be checking in at approximately 11:00 p.m. They confirmed my request, so I expected someone to be available at reception.
However, when I arrived, there was no one at the front desk. I called multiple times, and each time I was told that someone would arrive within 15 minutes. Unfortunately, after waiting for over one and a half hours, no one ever showed up.
This level of customer service is completely unacceptable. I was traveling with my child, which made the situation even more stressful. Had I been alone, I might have been able to wait longer, but with my child, I had no choice but to leave and find alternative accommodation.
Thankfully, Booking.com assisted me promptly with my refund request. However, I was forced to book another hotel at the last minute, which cost me an additional $100 because of the hotel’s failure to provide the service they had confirmed.
This experience caused unnecessary stress, inconvenience, and extra expense. I am extremely disappointed by the lack of communication, professionalism, and reliability. Promising that someone will arrive in “15 minutes” repeatedly, only for no one to appear after more than 90 minutes, is simply unacceptable.
