Dear Hotels: What I Want You to Know


 


Written By: Felecia Causey


Who thought choosing a place to stay when going on vacation, going out of town for work, for a sports' games, or going out of town to visit family members that it would be so hard. There is so much to consider when selecting the right hotel to stay. I will honestly say location will be top priority. Due to high crimes, safety is #1. I think the 2nd would be convivence. As a mother with kids with kids a location that gave me everything where we were staying was a big thumbs up for me. Pricing plays a major role for many people as well.

Although Airbnb has been a selection for so many people, because it offers more privacy and quieter stay. There are many of us who choose to stay in hotel to avoid the additional fees. Now there are some amazing hotels and then there are those that look good online but in -person. They are totally nothing like their website.

Hotels can be convenient most times, consistent, and give you access to the facilities like a pool, gym, jacuzzi, and the spa.

Although a couple of hotels I recently visited have did upgrades on the outside. the reviews still showed that many of the problems still haven't been fixed or addressed according to most recent reviews. What some hotels fail to realize is that one review can bring people to your hotel or have them avoid it.

Poor housekeeping is one of the worst complaints. My recent stay at a close Marriott hotel, made me very upset. The room smelled like smoke, the desks, phone, and tables were dusty. Who want to deal with dirty sheets, a dusty room, or a mold smell room on vacation? 

Who would have thought that choosing a place to stay would be so difficult when going for a vacation, business, sporting event, or visiting relatives? When picking a hotel to stay at, there are numerous variables to consider. To be completely honest, the location will come first. Given the high crime rate, safety comes foremost. Convenience, I imagine, would come second. As a mother with young children, I was overjoyed to learn that our hotel included everything we needed. Price is another important consideration for a lot of folks.

Furthermore, price is an important consideration for many people.

Despite this, many people prefer Airbnb since it offers a more private and quieter stay. Many of us choose to stay in hotels to save money on additional fees. There are hotels that look amazing on the internet but lack character when seen in person. They bear no resemblance to their webpage.

Most of the time, hotels can be dependable, convenient, and offer amenities such as a spa, gym, pool, and Jacuzzi.

However, I recently visited several hotels that have undergone outside upgrades. Based on the most recent reviews, it was clear that many of the issues remained outstanding. Some hotels are unaware that a single review can attract or repel clients.

One of the most common complaints is that the rooms are unclean. I was furious after sleeping at a nearby Marriott. The phone, tables, and desks were all filthy, and the area had a smokey odor. Who wants to spend their holiday dealing with rotting linens, a filthy room, or soiled sheets? Deception is another key issue that I am aware of that causes individuals to avoid using hotels. I consider deceptive advertising to be betrayal. Stop presenting luxury features that are either unusual or nonexistent.

The lack of hot water, cool and hot air, fast internet, free supplies, malfunctioning equipment, elevator problems, comfortable mattresses, and other necessities come next. Who wants to spend $100 or more to avoid issues that shouldn't exist with a well-known company?

Thin walls produce loud noises. The door of the motel where I stayed rattled every time a visitor entered or exited their room. Because the hotel was fully filled, the constant noise made for a difficult night's rest. We could hear televisions on both sides of the room. Let me just say that we were really excited to pack up and travel home the next day.

Customer service is the #1 priority on many people's lists, including my own. The last thing you want to do after arriving from out of town is deal with a rude front desk employee. The young woman behind the counter at the motel where I stayed in Atlanta was extremely kind and thoughtful. She didn't let her displeasure drive her to treat me poorly, even though the people in front of me were really disrespectful to her. The customer service was exceptional, and the stay was amazing. Without a doubt, I would return and highly recommend them to others.

Because seasonality influences the number of visitors to most hotels, it is vital to appeal to a diverse range of people. With so many hotels to choose from, your top goal should be to ensure a great experience.

Word-of-mouth marketing is the most effective way to demonstrate and validate your hotel's fantastic deals. Real individuals like myself, wives, mothers, and members of groups looking for incredible experiences are sharing their stories on blogs like mine. They're tired of the bogus news and uneven internet responses. A larger audience may find it appealing when a parent, wife, and female blogger like me can illustrate and write about our unbiased experiences. An independent review with photographs and videos will boost your hotel's reputation and make customers feel more at home, prompting them to return and recommend it to others.

Many people like to identify with others, so seeing a unique experience from bloggers like me to show different tourist groups, such as families, business trips, moms on getaways, and so on, why your hotel is the spot, may tailor their experience and desires. Please keep in mind the importance of little nuances.

A family who saved money to stay in your home may be staying there, or someone may be taking a vacation before it breaks down. Perhaps a couple who had been through a sad miscarriage came to commemorate their anniversary. Every guest should have the best experience and customer service at your hotel.

Staying there could be someone's escape from a breakdown, or a family who has saved up to stay at your destination. Perhaps a couple has come to commemorate their anniversary following a heartbreaking miscarriage. Your hotel should constantly provide each client with the finest possible experience and customer service.
