Alright - so i'm back from a gr8 vacation in London!! (loved the weather but sad that it's over --- :( ). I had a gr8 time in the outdoorsy (is that even a word - well, what the heck!) but the hotel i stayed in sucked (yukh! buuaakh!). One of the great experiences of living @ the Radisson Kennilworth, off Tottenham Court Road - was the room service! Pathetic service is an understatement! As it turns out - i was washin' my jockeys (even you wudnt pay 5 pound to wash em chaddies! now would you??) and wanted to use the Hot Rail to dry 'em off quickly. And bingo - you guessed right - hot rail no work. So (day 2 @ hotel) i call up maintenance and they send a guy upstairs to fix it and then starts the saga "Part is damaged - all shops closed now - will get tomorrow morning". OK - fair enough i thought.
3 days on - 3 different maintenance dudes turn up and yes -u guessed Correctomundo - same answer! i was like EH? But i cant start pullin' my hair off n makin a fuss - it's vacation time - i'm supposed to be in cool calm enjoyment n meditation mode. So i say - screw it - i'll drip dry my Jocks! (but that wasn't the end......000000h).
My actual laundry (t-shirts et al) arrives a few days later (courtesy hotel services that i used) and guess what - my tees are fu**** crumpled! Ironed u think? So me Mrs and I call up maintenance and this Latin American woman is at our door. Now this is the best part - me Mrs. let's off fumes for all the problems (hot rail, crumpled clothes, no tea bags etc etc) and miss nachos mundos goes "ok no problem - you call duty manager"!! hehehe! i coudlnt stop LMAO! (im on vacation remember - need some humour!!) and and ...ask ed meself the question "why do people do that"
Ahem....gr8 service standards!! No effort to understand the problem so you put on your tape recorder (hidden somewhere in your throat) and croak "ok - call duty manager". Not to forget they charge u a bomb for laundering your clothes!
Alas - vacation ends - 10 days spent and ofcourse "my dream hot rail" is still not fixed. So fellas, if you gonna go visit em' Brit hotels in London be ready to expect services which on a scale of 0 to 10 will fall in the range of negative integers!!!!
Be ready for abuse as well - they will call you Wankers or TWATS just as easily!!!
Cheers for now,
YazKay
