To whom it may concern:

My name is Samantha Harbinson and I frequently travel throughout the year as I am a sales representative for the company I work for.   While traveling, I usually always seek to stay at the Hotel Name.   I do so because in the past, your employees exemplify outstanding customer service.  However, that last time I stayed at the Hotel Name, I was highly disappointed and unsure if I will ever stay at another Hotel Name again.

During my stay in City, State, hotel room #, on Date through Date, my stay at the Hotel Name was rocky from the on-set.  From check-in to check-out I experienced numerous problems that I just cannot let go untold.   When I first walked up to the desk to check-in the woman behind the desk was on the phone.   I waited patiently for over 20 minutes for her to even acknowledge I was even there.  When she did get off the phone, I overheard her say to the person on the other line "Honey, I gotta go. This old lady is giving me dirty looks!"   I assure you I did not give her dirty looks, I was just looking at her to see if she was going to give me some kind of instructions like 'just a minute, I'll be right with you'. Forty minutes later I finally inserted my key card into the lock of my room door.   I was immediately knocked back from the sight and smell of the room.   Obviously she put me in a room that had not yet been cleaned but this room was not just dirty, it was horrendous!   It took another 30 minutes for her to change me over to a different room.  Mind you that there were not any other customers that she attended to during this time and it was after 4:00 pm.

I let all this go and set about preparing for bed as I had a very early breakfast meeting the following morning. However, little did I know that my problems had just begun?  Several rooms on my floor were extremely loud through-out the entire night.  When I tried to complain to the Front Desk the next morning, I was told that there was nothing that they could do about it.  This nightly noise continued for 3 of the 5 days of my stay. While this in itself is intolerable, every day of my stay I had to go to the front desk and inquire why my room had not been cleaned during the day while I was out.  Each day they told me that they were going to get to me soon.   

This is by no means is an exhaustive list of the poor customer service I during this stay.  This stay at Hotel Name was costly and it is unacceptable to be treated in this manner.  I hope that this is a one-time experience that I will never have to endure again.  However, I feel compelled to make my complaint known if for no other reason than I do not wish to see anyone else go through an experience such as this.  Please respond with how you have handled this issue and how I can be sure this will never happen to me again.  

Sincerely,
Samantha Harbinson
