I’ve been a loyal guest of IHG Hotels for years, holding Diamond Elite status alongside my husband. We’ve stayed at this location multiple times and generally appreciated the convenience and comfort. However, my recent experience was deeply disappointing and warrants serious attention from management.
Yesterday, I needed to print a couple of pages from my email to complete a time-sensitive work task and receive payment. I entered the lobby with request use the printer. Instead of being met with professionalism, I was confronted by a front desk employee whose behavior was shockingly aggressive and inappropriate.
She raised her voice, refused to let me use the printer, and threatened to call the police simply because I wasn’t yet registered. I calmly explained my situation and my intent to pay for a room, but she continued shouting, insisting I couldn’t even use the restroom or have a glass of water. When I asked for her name, she refused to repeat it, claiming she’d said it once already. She also stated that no manager was available.
This kind of conduct is unacceptable in any hospitality setting, let alone one that prides itself on elite service. Her hostility and lack of basic courtesy were not only unprofessional—they were dehumanizing. No guest, regardless of status, should be treated with such disrespect.
I previously left a 5-star review for this property, but I’m now forced to revise it due to this individual’s behavior. I strongly urge IHG management to investigate this incident, provide staff with proper training in customer service and conflict resolution, and consider whether this employee is suited for a role that requires grace and professionalism.
