The vision of our hospitality business is to make our guests happy, comfortable, and safe. We put our utmost efforts to accomplish the goal, and there was no negligence. However, we also believe there will be a circumstance that would be difficult to please guests, but our utmost efforts will not stop there; perhaps, we will try harder to please our guests. We did the same with Sierra B, arr Oct 27. However, after the first night, she found another place to stay probably less expensive, but most importantly, spending time with her reading buddies seemed worked perfectly for her. Therefore, she wanted cancellation and came up with excuses to get out and refunded. She mentioned: non-operating washing machine, someone banged the window middle of the night and the broken lock on the window. Her entire claim is an untrue and made-up story to ger refund.
The washer was properly working condition, and I communicated with her via text message. I never experienced anyone banged the window from any guests. The local police departments contacted, and no evidence found. The window not broken - a false statement. No evidence of a broken window. Usually, the refund reimbursements often based on the cancellation policy with the VRBO. Although I was not obligated to cancel from my end, I wanted to fulfill her wish and make her happy. I offered a few choices: 1) change to a new apartment, 2) provided the booking revenue to her, or 3) I come and verify the complaint and remedy the situation. None of the options were appealing to her since she determined to leave and stay with her reading buddies. She was forcing me to cancel the reservation. At that point, I was still accommodating and helping her to cancel the booking and get her a refund. I forwarded the cancellation policy and the procedure of how to cancel the existing reservation from VRBO. Unfortunately, she didn't cancel the booking.
To conclude, we tried our best to accommodate her in many ways, but she was uncooperative, poor communicator, demanding, and rude. After her checkout, I found the place was dirty and disorganized.
Nonetheless, our goal is to make guests happy and leave with a good memory. So far, people seem to like our places dearly and rate them highly. The apartments are species, tastefully decorated, private, and centrally located in the City of Grand Forks. No matter what Sierra's opinion, our mission of hospitality, and utmost efforts to serve guests to make them happy - continue for all the guests
