Front desk called me at 6p the day of my reservation to cancel my reservation for 2 rooms because of maintenance issues. I asked him where he had made my family of 5 alternative reservations, and he said that he wasn’t able to do that. I asked him if that sounded acceptable to him, and he just apologized. The manager of the hotel called me to tell me the same thing and that housekeeping hadn’t realized that the AC wasn’t working in 1/2 of the hotel until 5p. She went on to say that they could accommodate 1 room. I told her that was unacceptable and if notifying a guest at 6p was also unacceptable.
