Horrible, and I mean REALLY HORRIBLE customer service!
We booked three nights here for a long-weekend getaway around the wine festival at Bethel Woods. Our reservation was confirmed for a King room with a refrigerator (for wine-right?). When we arrived, check-in at the front desk seemed a bit disorganized. We went to our room, which was a King room, but no fridge. To top it off, it was directly opposite a very loud exit door. We called the front desk and were given the runaround until I insisted I speak to the manager. At that point they brought a fridge to the room, and tried to convince us the noise we were hearing would not bother us. Again I had to ask for the manager, and this time they said they would move us to a different room.
The new room was on the second floor in the back, not near an exit (good for noise) had the fridge (which was brought along from the previous room), but was much smaller than the previous room. Well, OK we took it anyway. So ended the first night.
The next day was Saturday and we went to the wine festival early after suffering through a miserable "continental" breakfast and horrible coffee provided in the hotel lobby. We decided not to bother with the "free" breakfast again after that sad experience.
When we returned Saturday evening there was no parking available (apparently there was a convention there) so we had to park on the street, carrying our wine to the room. However, the room keys would not open any of the entrance doors (or our room) and we had to go all the way back down to the front desk (with our wine) and have the keys reprogrammed.
We found that the bed had been made and fresh towels were provided but we were out of toilet paper. Back down to the front desk for a roll and to complain again.
Sunday morning we left early to go exploring, and we said hello to the cleaning people in the hall as we left. Sunday late afternoon we returned to find that once again our keys did not work. Apparently they only program them for one day at a time. Furthermore, we got back to a room that was in exactly the same as we left. The bed was not made, the towels were in a wet pile, the garbage was full, and not enough toilet paper to last the night. We called the front desk to complain. They said maybe we had the do not disturb sign on the door (we did not) and we went down to the front desk. We said we were going out for dinner and expected the room to be taken care of when we returned.
When we returned Sunday evening, there were fresh towels laying on the unmade bed, no toilet paper, wet towels still on the floor, and full trash cans. We called the front desk again, and they sent someone to the room with toilet paper. The wet towels and trash bags were left in the hallway. We were very glad to leave this place Monday morning.
While we were there, we also noticed eggshells and other dirt in the hallway upon our arrival was still there when we checked out, and there are a lot of bulbs out in the hallways. We also thought the food area in the lobby was filthy.
Please note: Light bulbs out in any commercial establishment is a clear sign they are not keeping up with maintenance. After all, if they can't spend 30 seconds replacing a light bulb, what else are they not doing? read more
