Very disappointing! Hospitality should be a priority at the Manhattan Hotel Jakarta. As a frequent guest at the Manhattan Hotel Jakarta, I deeply regret the unpleasant experience we had at breakfast with our family. We came with a family of six. During breakfast, one of the waitresses, Putri, in what we considered an impolite manner, asked that the 1-liter bottled milk available in the buffet area be returned to the cooler. This was truly disappointing. The milk was provided for breakfast guests. In fact, if the 1 liter of milk were shared among six people, each person would only receive about 167 ml. Is the use of such a large amount of milk a major issue for a hotel of Manhattan's stature? What we question is not just the milk, but the attitude, communication, and quality of service to guests. We have stayed at this hotel several times and have never experienced such treatment before. If there is a rule regarding removing milk from the cooler, the hotel should have provided clear information and communicated it politely, rather than in an approach that made guests feel uncomfortable. I would like to remind the management of Manhattan Hotel Jakarta, particularly the Food & Beverage Manager, Restaurant Manager, and those responsible for breakfast service, that the primary product of the hotel industry is not just rooms, food, or facilities, but rather hospitality. Guests come to hotels for comfort, friendliness, and a pleasant experience. Unfortunately, one employee's inaccurate actions can ruin the entire experience. Breakfast, which should have been a pleasant start to the day, turned into an annoying experience that ruined the mood for us as a family. I hope management will not dismiss this complaint as trivial and undertake a serious evaluation of service standards.
