The property was in a great location. I’ve stayed a few times before, but this time was not a good experience.
I booked this room for a last-minute business trip. I choose a lower price room, as I just needed a place to sleep.
Upon checking in, I realize they put me in a corner of the property. I’ve never stayed in before. The room was very old. And it seems like this was a room that was out of commission, that they hurriedly available rent, because it was clearly missing a painting that was there before (the screw holes from the previous picture was still there) and it was missing a nightstand.
When I called the front desk and told him I was not satisfied with the room, the agent first informed me that I booked a cheap room (exact words). After I told him that I’ve stayed there several times before, and I know the standard rooms are usually in much better condition, he proceeded to look up my history and tell me that I’ve only stayed there one time before. I then explained to him that my colleague usually book the rooms, and check in for me beforehand so I don’t have to. After putting me on hold for a few minutes, he didn’t begrudgingly told me that they will change me a room. But only after telling me that next time, I should book a higher price room.
Really??? 1. Does it matter that I booked a standard room? I’ve always booked a standard room, and this one was clearly not up to par. 2. Wow. Not the customer service I expect from a 4 star Sheraton.
