My husband frequently stays at this hotel for business. His phone was dead, it was in the evening, and I needed to reach him regarding a medical emergency. I called the front desk and asked for them to ring my husband's room. Angie answered the phone and refused to put me through to my husband. She said I needed his room number first. I explained that I wasn't asking her to tell me his room number, which would be a breach of security, I was simply asking her to buzz his room, yet she still refused. I asked to speak to the manager, and she told me she was the manager on duty. I asked nicely over and over, begging her to let me speak to my husband due to an emergency and she refused, her voice filled with glee from what I can surmise to be a power trip. I became angry and told her that she was being unreasonable and going against policy that had previously been followed. I called 2 times to no avail. Finally 30 minutes later, with the crisis still at hand, I called the police for help. While on the phone with the police, I was able to find his room number, so I hung up from them and called the room. I was placed on an extensive hold (I was not previously), and when Angie came back to the phone, I gave her the room number. There was no apology, no concern for our family crisis. Nothing. I asked for her name & job title and she shared that she would not give anything other than her first name, and she was a front desk agent, which meant that she lied when she said she was the manager. Further, if she truly was forbidden from calling his room, then a humane response would have been for her to call his room after hanging up from me and asking him to call his wife due to a medical emergency. It's not that hard to have a soul. In the end, I was so grateful to hear my husband's voice, and so incredibly shocked at the lack of humanity demonstrated by this person who by no means should be working in the public and attempting to provide customer service. What a stain on a hotel that usually provides stellar service!
