The
front
desk
at
this
hotel
are
in
dire
need
of
some
basic
customer
service
training.
Upon
checking
in
and
entering
our
room
we
noticed
that
the
air
conditioning
was
not
working.
As
we
were
leaving
the
next
morning
on
an
international
flight
back
to
the
U.S
we
definitely
wanted
to
be
able
to
have
a
comfortable
sleep
(especially
after
6
weeks
of
traveling
through
Europe
on
our
honeymoon
-
something
we
later
shared
with
the
front
desk
agent).
When
we
called
down
to
reception
to
request
a
room
move
we
were
abruptly
told
the
hotel
was
fully
booked
and
they
would
speak
to
the
manager
before
rudely
hanging
up
the
phone
with
no
indication
of
when
we
would
hear
from
them.
When
I
called
back
5
minutes
later
to
follow
up
another
representative
was
extremely
rude
again.
I
informed
them
that
we
needed
to
drop
off
our
rental
car
in
the
proceeding
15
minutes.
She
yelled
down
the
phone
“my
colleague
is
already
on
his
way
up
to
your
room,
just
wait
there”.
Then
she
hung
up
the
phone.
When
the
front
desk
representative
arrived
at
our
room
he
walked
in
the
door
with
a
stone
cold
look
on
his
face
and
a
thermometer
in
his
hand.
He
proceeded
to
walk
up
to
the
air
vent
in
the
room
and
take
the
temperature.
This
level
of
hostility
was
extremely
unnecessary
and
very
upsetting.
The
room
was
over
30
degrees
celsius.
He
then
walked
back
to
the
door,
opened
it
and
walked
directly
across
the
hall
to
the
same
type
of
room,
gesturing
for
us
to
follow.
He
then
claimed
that
he
had
tested
that
room
and
it
was
19
degrees
celsius
(something
we
later
questioned
as
it
felt
just
as
hot).
We
asked
if
there
were
any
other
rooms
as
he
had
mentioned
that
the
hotel
also
had
renovated
rooms.
His
immediate
response
to
that
was
that
“they
were
sold
out
and
that
wouldn’t
help
anyway
as
those
air
conditioners
were
even
worse”.
When
I
further
questioned
the
legitimacy
of
this
nonsensical
response,
he
curtly
mumbled
under
his
breath
something
about
using
a
fan.
As
an
executive
in
hotels
myself
for
over
13
years
(9
of
which
were
at
AccorHotels),
I
can’t
even
begin
to
list
all
of
the
problems
with
how
this
hotel
handled
this
situation!
Do
better
Novotel,
very
disappointing!
I
would
appreciate
a
phone
call
from
the
GM
to
discuss
this
matter
further.
