Potential
guests
of
this
hotel,
We
stayed
at
this
hotel
last
week.
We
were
stranded
in
Houston
due
to
weather.
We
were
sold
a
room
by
an
Wyndham
representative
who
was
not
on
site.
When
we
got
to
the
hotel
around
930pm
there
was
no
power.
The
night
clerk
could
not
get
anyone
into
any
rooms
as
the
electronic
keys
were
non
functional.
The
hotel
had
no
backup
power
or
any
means
to
access
any
locked
rooms
on
the
property.
Power
did
not
come
on
until
2am.
However,
the
night
clerk
was
unable
to
access
the
internet
so
all
of
the
stranded
guests
remained
stranded
in
the
lobby
until
530am.
Of
course
we
did
not
blame
the
night
staff
for
the
weather
or
electrical
circumstances
which
caused
so
many
to
be
put
in
uncomfortable
situations.
I
do
think
the
hotel
(and
perhaps
others)
were
unprepared
for
the
situation.
The
many
guests
stranded
at
the
hotel
were
given
no
support
other
than
bottled
water.
The
hotel
did
not
offer
the
many
stranded
travelers
blankets,
pillows,
and
or
roll
away
beds
to
ease
comfort.
Furthermore,
the
manager
began
charging
fatigued
guests
for
a
night
in
the
hotel
lobby
$80
per
room
to
stay
from
530am
until
check
out.
$80
was
a
discounted
rate
($30
off
the
original
price).
However,
the
discount
at
this
point
was
a
slap
in
the
face.
Especially
for
guests
who
clearly
don’t
have
an
alternative.
We
had
an
infant
child.
Furthermore,
most
guests
arrived
after
the
power
was
out,
being
directed
to
the
hotel
by
a
central
office
representative
who
hopefully
had
no
idea
that
the
power
was
out
at
the
location.
As
the
heat
waves
seem
to
cause
rolling
blackouts,
which
may
be
a
regular
occurrence,
I
would
suggest
installing
a
backup
method
(generator/key
entrance)for
gaining
entrance
to
your
rooms.
Training
staff
in
how
to
respond
to
these
situation
would
also
seem
wise.
Having
no
solution
is
clearly
a
problematic
scenario
for
both
your
staff
and
guests.
Every
guest
who
experienced
this
situation
was
astonished
at
the
least
at
the
lack
of
response
capabilities/tools
and
empathy
at
your
staffs’
disposal.
One
staff
did
not
know
how
to
turn
lights
off
so
that
people
could
attempt
to
sleep.
The
other
staff
member
stated
he
could
not
get
the
manager
on
the
phone
and
had
no
idea
how
to
resolve
internet,
computer,
and
power
issues.
This
has
been
my
worst
hotel
experience
in
memory.
The
response
and
trying
to
excuse
the
ineptitude
with
which
the
situation
was
handled,
the
attitude
and
communication
in
dealing
with
fatigued
guests
trying
to
check
in
after
a
night
of
no
sleep
was
inappropriate.
I
hope
for
the
sake
of
your
future
guests
that
you
take
some
action
to
improve
your
performance
and
capacity
for
addressing
extenuating
circumstances.
