点评:Homecoming Weekend: Great Staff, Disappointing Hotel
Unfortunately, our stay was pretty disappointing, especially considering we paid over $800 for the accommodations during homecoming weekend.
The hotel appeared to still be under construction or undergoing renovations. There were pallets of materials sitting on the lobby floor, and paint cans were visibly stacked in the office. There was also a noticeable sour, mildew-like odor, particularly in the elevators and our room. This was especially concerning because members of our group have asthma.
The hotel also advertised a swimming pool, but the pool was completely empty and unavailable for use. Breakfast was advertised from 7:00 AM to 10:00 AM, but when we arrived around 9:45 AM, everything was already gone, including the coffee. I also had difficulty determining how to access the advertised Wi-Fi, although I admittedly forgot to ask the front desk for assistance with that.
I do want to emphasize that the staff was wonderful. Every interaction I had with the front desk was pleasant, and the employees were consistently kind, welcoming, and helpful. One employee even provided me with an extra blanket that was still in its original packaging, which I genuinely appreciated.
We didn’t bring most of these concerns to the staff because we recognized that many of the issues were beyond their immediate control. The employees couldn’t reasonably be expected to resolve the property’s odor, ongoing construction, or empty swimming pool, and I didn’t feel it was fair to direct those frustrations toward people who had been nothing but accommodating.
Overall, the property seemed poorly prepared for what I would expect to be a busy homecoming weekend. For a stay costing more than $800, I expected better maintenance, cleanliness, communication, and access to the amenities that were advertised.
The staff deserves recognition for their hospitality, but unfortunately, the condition of the hotel and the overall accommodations fell well short of expectations.
翻译:返校周末:员工服务出色,酒店体验却令人失望
遗憾的是,这次住宿体验相当糟糕,尤其是考虑到我们在返校周末为此支付了800多美元。
这家酒店似乎仍在施工或翻修中。大堂地板上堆满了材料托盘,办公室里也随处可见成堆的油漆罐。此外,酒店内还弥漫着一股明显的酸臭味,类似霉味,尤其是在电梯里和我们的房间里。这尤其令人担忧,因为我们团队中有人患有哮喘。
这家酒店还宣传说有游泳池,但实际上泳池空无一人且无法使用。酒店宣称早餐供应时间为早上7点到10点,但我们在9点45分左右抵达时,所有食物都已经被抢光了,连咖啡也没剩下。此外,我也搞不清楚该如何连接酒店宣传中所说的无线网络;不过我承认自己忘了向前台求助。我必须强调,酒店的工作人员真的非常出色。我与前台的每一次交流都很愉快,员工们始终友善、热情且乐于助人。有一位员工甚至给了我一条仍带着原包装的毛毯,我对此心怀感激。
我们并没有把这些问题都反映给工作人员,因为我们明白很多问题其实并非他们所能控制的。按理说,员工们不可能解决房产周围的异味问题、持续的施工状况以及空置的游泳池问题;我觉得把这些不满情绪发泄在那些一直热情周到的服务人员身上是不公平的。
总体而言,这家酒店似乎完全没有为我预想中会十分热闹的返校周末做好准备。花费了800多美元入住,我本期望能享受到更好的维护状况、整洁的环境、良好的沟通服务,以及 advertised 中所宣传的各项设施。工作人员的热情好客值得称赞,但遗憾的是,酒店的状况以及整体住宿条件远远未达到预期。
