My family had the misfortune of staying at your hotel from the 5th of September 2020 till the 6th of September 2020. We have booked for a PREMIER ROOM (two rooms apartment for two nights) via Booking.com on the 4th of September 2020. On the day of arrival, we were notified that the check in time was around 3pm. We arrived on the 5th of September, at 4.45 p.m. which was an hour and 45 minutes apart from the check in time but that the room is not ready.
We checked in eventually after 6 hours of waiting. After 6 hours only we got the deluxe room instead of a premier room in room number 1233 and front officer did say that by the next day, we will be getting our premier room and she will call me back. Next day, we were expecting a call from hotel on the Premier Room again unfortunately, no calls were received. So we decided to checkout from the room. I took the effort to go to the front desk myself. After 10 minutes of waiting, no one was there on the front desk. A lady came and as expected, she seems a bit lost on the situation obviously because no hotel officers or hotel officials was informed and she wanted me to self-explain myself from the start. Baffled, I insisted on speaking with the manager, Mr RIZ who came eventually.
Mr RIZ did not know anything about our misfortune and I explained to him everything that happened from our arrival to our check out. We argued and to quote, Kalau Puan nak viralkan, itu hak Puan, came from Mr RIZ himself. Is this the correct way to ensure your hotel reputation is maintained well? By provoking your tenants? We asked him to prepare and propose a fair discount on our first night stay, reflecting back our time which we wasted 6 hours of waiting of a room that was downgraded. He gave us a discount of 20% and we paid respectfully.
On the 8th of September 2020, we have received an apology letter from Booking.com, but none from your hotel. This is where it gets interesting, the room rate from GOOGLE REVIEW is not tally with the hotel. It was supposed to be RM385, while at the lobby, your manager Mr RIZ mentioned that One-night rate is RM500++ and after 20% discount we should pay RM442, which was the amount we paid for.
I immediately called the hotel, which was unresponsive after 10 calls and managed to check the amount of the room that I paid with Ms JANE, which was RM378. Clearly, that was not the amount we paid. Ms JANE said she will bring this matter with Mr RIZ and Mr RIZ later then told me that he charged me for the premier room rate when my stay was downgraded to the deluxe room. This was a petty and immature mistake coming from your manager himself where I have explained myself over and over again. This shows irresponsive and irresponsible behaviour from someone with such high position with elements of fraud with mischarge on hotel fees after such complications.
Mr RIZ refunded my money on the same day. Your hotel gave us a very terrible impression, embarrassing services with minimal discounts over a complication that happened because of your inefficient team.
This type of service is unacceptable at so many levels. I hope you will look on this matter seriously so that it won t happen to others as this terrible experience will be the result of us never coming back to your hotel.
Waiting for 6 hours is not something to joke with especially with children. I would like to hear your thoughts about my unfortunate stay and the steps you are willing to take. Looking forward for your prompt reply.
