1) One day in the middle of my stay, I would be in a rush around noon immediately after my ZOOM meeting, and my assistant helped me with the booking the night before and got the confirmation at the reception in person that the taxi would come on time. Yet the car did not show up yesterday when I went to the lobby, luckily there was another taxi so that I could catch up with my schedule; it took me a while to retrieve the 6-digit address code, resulting in a few minutes of delay.
My assistant helped me to clarify with the reception that night, and he told me that I needed to book again at reception. In what universe is this advanced booking? Shouldn't the booking already be made when it was confirmed the night before?
The same just happened on my check-out day; while the booking was made the night before, I did not see any cab at the lobby when I went down, and I had to call for another cab.
2) One afternoon, in between two meetings, I asked the janitor staying around in the corridor to come into my room, clean the trash and give me some tea bags, tissues, etc.; he checked the room and confirmed that everything was OK, and no cleaning was required. Then as I was in the second meeting, someone knocked on my door despite the "Do Not Disturb" light turned on, and the staff claimed to provide room service, that was extremely embarrassing for me in a ZOOM meeting. He asked me what I needed, but what I needed was not to be disturbed!
I went down to ask the manager who ordered the staff to do so, while the manager responded that it was not her, and she also seemed reluctant in handling my request. Even if this is the hotel policy as claimed by the manager, the janitor already gave the check and provided room service, not sure if they had any internal communication, and it simply does not make sense to provide room service again when the guest asked not to disturb.
Eventually no official apology or explanations were provided by the hotel, that was irresponsible of them.
The two incidents already reflected how terrible the service and communication was for the hotel, I had to waste so much effort on these miscellaneous matters, and their stars should be taken down.
