Most guests wouldn’t come away from a hotel experience where their car had been broken into, resulting in a shattered front passenger window and stolen GPS, with a positive attitude. Even fewer would write a letter of thanks and praise to the establishment.
But Debra, a guest at the Hotel Equities-managed Fairfield Inn by Marriott, did just that.
She wrote about how the “outstanding” general manager not only granted her stay for free after learning of the incident, but also arranged for maintenance to vacuum the glass from the car before personally trying to tape plastic over the broken window.
“He put himself in my shoes immediately and realized the stress and frustration I had gone through,” Debra wrote in her letter. “He was professional, thoughtful, considerate, compassionate, caring. He did whatever he could to help send me on my way with confidence restored in the hotel.”
Hotel Equities founder, CEO and President Frederick Cerrone expects employees of all 50 hotels to provide excellent world-class customer service that exceeds expectations.
