Will you just stop all these talks about Cordeb Hotel.

My friend from Egypt now is working there as waiter, so what are you talking about?

I wish the management of the hotel can sue this speaker for damages and slanders

A parking attendant took $20 cash I paid for parking and placed it in his own wallet and gave me $4 change back from his wallet; keeping the full balance for himself. I’m assuming he’ll be voiding the transaction and his level of comfort tells me that this has been going on for quite sometime. Happened on April 2nd, 2011 at around 2am at the Sheraton in Flushing, NY and his name is Raphael; works on the overnight.

its 100% correct true, I work in a hotel, 3 stars in Rome as Receptionist, the writer forgot to tell us also about the Internet cost! which its also a rip off!and the client has to log out otherwise it keeps charging him over & over!the client can go 2 any bar get a drink and get access to the wi fi for free! but for the minibar, its true that it cost 3 times more than the usual price at the store, but remember its cold! especially in summer so the guest pays the bill of the elec bill of the fridge! a parking might cost half of the rate per night due to lack of parking lots in the old historical city,Such Rome and the Hotel has nothing to do with it, but we also tell the client where he can park for free! how to use the pubblic transportations….clients who want to save some money and enjoy their trip they should search online b4 they visit any hotel and they can always ask, which is the convinient way or the cheapest way to reach the hotel without being ripped off by a taxi driver ! or a pick-up service from the hotel!…..I tell my clients where or what to do, like flea markets near by, meuseums for free!cheap restaurants…etc helpful information…:)

In the UK all charges are displayed quite clearly, if you don’t require B/Fast then book a room only basis, if you don’t use the services you don’t pay for them, if however you do require service and don’t want to waste time by having to look around for laundromats, retail shops and telephone boxes, then ask reception to assist. Hotels are in the business to make money just as the individual is. If you feel that you have been overcharged or something is on your bill that you didn’t have then call the security manager to investigate, they are always happy to help

I recently stayed at a Sheraton hotel in Columbia, MD for two nights. The total charge I authorized at check in was $319.00. When I received my credit card statement I was charged $558.58. When I called to dispute the charge, I was told I had been charged a fee for smoking in a non-smoking room. I do not smoke and had not smoked in the room. The person in accounts relievable refused to refund me for the bogus charge claiming it was Sheraton policy. I will be disputing the charge with my credit card company and writing to everyone I can think of to expose this fraud.

Of course its not! Most hotels are excellent, this only counts for those who still need to get to that level.

I dont think its that bad

I have been a hotelier and would like to tell all your readers that the leading brands would never do such a thing.
