Title:
Extremely
Disappointing
Experience
-
Unprofessional
Staff
and
False
Amenities
Rating:
★☆☆☆☆
I
recently
had
the
unfortunate
experience
of
staying
at
The
President
Hotel,
and
I
must
say
it
was
a
complete
disappointment
from
start
to
finish.
The
most
significant
problem
was
the
absence
of
air
conditioning
in
the
room,
despite
it
being
advertised
in
our
booking
and
the
booking
site.
The
scorching
heat
made
our
stay
unbearable,
and
there
was
no
ceiling
fan
to
provide
any
relief.
We
had
to
resort
to
using
a
mobile
fan,
but
it
only
reached
one
person,
leaving
the
rest
of
us
sweating
throughout
the
night.
Despite
booking
air-conditioned
rooms
and
bringing
up
the
issue
with
the
shift
manager,
no
changes
were
made
to
rectify
the
situation.
The
shift
manager,
a
old
lady
whose
name
I
dint
get
but
she
was
the
shift
manager
on
the
24th
of
June
2023,
was
not
only
unhelpful
but
also
extremely
rude
and
disrespectful.
She
continuously
ignored
our
concerns
and
refused
to
answer
our
simple
questions.
It
was
evident
that
she
lacked
basic
customer
service
skills
and
didn't
have
the
courtesy
to
address
our
discomfort.
Furthermore,
the
incompetence
of
the
management
became
apparent
when
we
discovered
that
we
were
charged
for
the
hotel
city
tax
twice.
The
first
charge
was
supposedly
on
hold,
but
it
was
deducted
from
my
bank
account,
and
no
refund
has
been
processed
even
after
8
days
since
our
check-out.
The
shift
manager
on
the
day
of
check
out,
a
man
whose
name
I
unfortunately
didn't
catch,
was
equally
uncooperative.
Instead
of
explaining
the
issue
and
resolving
it
promptly,
he
rushed
us
and
insisted
on
taking
the
same
charges
again.
Due
to
time
constraints,
I
reluctantly
paid
for
it
again,
but
I
am
now
left
with
the
burden
of
contacting
them
via
email
to
rectify
this
double
charge.
Their
unprofessionalism
and
condescending
behavior
during
this
incident
were
utterly
unacceptable.
Aside
from
the
lack
of
air
conditioning
and
the
billing
mishap,
we
encountered
several
other
issues
throughout
our
stay.
The
room
had
faulty
lighting,
with
two
lamps
not
functioning
at
all,
creating
an
unpleasantly
dim
environment.
The
basin
constantly
flooded
and
clogged,
and
to
our
disgust,
the
toilet
had
visible
stains
that
were
not
cleaned
properly.
These
hygiene
issues
were
utterly
repulsive
and
made
our
stay
even
more
unpleasant.
Moreover,
the
hotel
management
conveniently
shifted
blame
onto
the
booking
system,
refusing
to
take
responsibility
for
their
mistakes.
While
I
can
understand
that
availability
might
be
limited
on
a
Saturday
night,
we
were
staying
for
three
nights,
and
there
were
empty
rooms
on
the
3rd
and
4th
floors,
which
were
supposed
to
be
air-conditioned.
However,
my
colleague
was
given
a
room
on
the
3rd
floor,
while
the
rest
of
us
suffered
on
the
1st
floor
with
no
AC.
Surprisingly
with
the
same
booking
one
of
the
3
rooms
booked
got
a
3rd
Floor
while
the
remaining
2
dint.
We
had
a
done
a
non
refundable
bookings
1
month
in
advance.
Despite
our
advance
payment
and
constant
requests,
they
failed
to
accommodate
any
of
them.
In
conclusion,
my
experience
at
The
President
Hotel
was
nothing
short
of
a
nightmare.
The
lack
of
air
conditioning,
unprofessional
and
rude
shift
managers,
double
charges,
maintenance
issues,
and
overall
poor
management
made
our
stay
highly
uncomfortable
and
unsatisfactory.
I
strongly
advise
against
staying
at
this
hotel
if
you
value
basic
amenities,
professional
conduct,
and
a
pleasant
experience.
