I had a reservation for 02/22-23/14 at the Mesquite, Tx Hampton Inn. Due to travel changes, I called and requested a room for the night of the 21st as well. I was told they had a room and it was added to my confirmation#. Cost of the room $125.00. When I arrived at the Mesquite location, I was told that they didn't know who I'd talked to but that I didn't have a room for the night. A women named Piffany (sp?) got involved and immediately made me extremely mad due to her attitude. I showed her the changed confirmation on the phone email and the number I'd called to receive the change. She said I must have talked to someone in reservations (who cares who I talked to, your folks confirmed my stay with an email to my phone). She made no effort to review the situation and try to determine what happened. She insisted I didn't have a room and when ask what they would do about it to help me out finding another place, she said nothing, it wasn't here responsibility. After 12 hours of absolute travel hell, she provided exactly what I didn't need -- an extremely poor welcome to a normally fabulous stay at the Hampton. After I left, my wife returned as frustrated a I was, only to find out that our status went from not having a room for the night to having two -- and I was told they were sold out (which I don't contest giving the event going on here). Bottom line is I'm staying at your hotel and appreciate being here. I really don't appreciate the service at the front desk and the attitude with which I was received. I travel some with my company and am just a Silver card holder, but my company, Hunting Titan, travels extensively using your services, with many, many professionals worldwide. Personally, I've had your competitors recruiting my business (I don't have to use the Hampton Inn if I can get the same discount) and they are willing to meet or exceed your price structure. I will be communicating my experience here with them and discussing my next stay options upon my return to work Tuesday. When my wife got us booked in and started to leave, a gentlemen stepped to the desk and ask if your motel had a room for the night. Your booking agent had given me an extra room (2), and I only needed (1), which is a net (1) available once our transaction was complete. Your receptionist turned the man away -- lied to him. (Maybe that isn't lying to you but to me it is). I
sincerely hope I'm the only person who has a bad experience in Mesquite this weekend due to your reception staff. It would be ashamed to ruin the stay for more because of an amateur at your front desk.
