Horrible Experience with general manager Tanisha Lewis
I received the worst customer service I've ever experienced. My family was there for the Tennis tournament. We reserved a double queen room on May 15th. We were notified by email from the tennis tournament director on May 16th that the hotel was still honoring the tennis tournament rate of $169 a night. Not only did the general manager, Tanisha, refuse to change our rate, she modified our reservations to a standard king room without notification or consent. When we expressed disappointment, she then decided to move us to a King suite with a sofa bed. When I asked to be compensated with a discount, she authorized the tennis tournament rate for the night. When I told her the tennis rate was what we were supposed to pay anyway, Tanisha authorized a $20 discount just for the night but said we would still pay the full $233 the next night once we were moved into the double queen room. After I learned another guest did not get the room he reserved as well, I addressed Tanisha. I approached her with a smile and calm tone, but she responded in defense and boldly stated to my face that she was the person who modified my reservation without notifying us and stated she would not give us the tournament rate for both nights because my husband reserved the rooms for $233 a night. I explained to her that my husband talked to a front desk clerk after reserving the rooms on your website and told her we were supposed to get the Tennis rate. She told my husband the computer wouldn't let her change it, so my husband decided he would speak with a manager once we arrived so that the price could be adjusted. When I explained this to Tanisha, she did not care and still refused to adjust the price of our rooms. I then told Tanisha I spoke to another guest who had the same problem as me and told her I believe they had given my family the room intended for him, and she became really angry! She told me she knew I spoke with another guest because she saw it on the camera!! I do not know why she was watching me, and another guest talk on the camera, but that made me very suspicious of the other clerks because when I spoke to that guest, I had just overheard him telling front desk associates his room was not what he booked. Tanisha had not even gotten to work at that time. for her to see it on camera, tells me they had to tell her about me and another guest talking about our concerns. What is that for Tanisha to go watch on camera?! Tanisha was flat out MEAN, nasty, rude, discourteous, and lacked general compassion and humility. She made the decision to modify my room without so much as a phone call to give us a chance to find another hotel to stay at, but I was treated as if I was doing something wrong just for asking to be fairly compensated for the inconvenience. What's worse, Tanisha didn't bother to take the $20 off the price of my room for the first night as she said she would. I assume our confrontation made her change her mind, so she lacks integrity on top of all else. My family should have been charged the Tennis rate of $169 a night, but instead we paid $169 for one night. Tanisha disguised the rate we were already supposed to be charged as a courteous discount for the inconvenience of switching our room without our knowledge and I do not believe that is true compensation. She was also very nasty to Jeff, the other guest whose reservations were not what he expected. Jeff is willing to share his experience as well. I WILL reach out to corporate about Tanisha because I do not believe she should be the face representing Fairfield Inn. I love Marriott hotels and have never had an issue with them in my life until now. read more
