We experienced poor customer service at Lautrec Opera. As first time visitors to Paris, our first point of contact tends to be hotel staff. our second night of the stay, the receptionist was upset that we requested to exchange our room towels simply because we had foregone housekeeping services that day.
We offered to bring the towels downstairs and pick up fresh ones from the front desk. When we came down she was yelling at us accusing us of declining housekeeping that day, which I tried explaining that the two things are not mutually exclusive: we can forego housekeeping and still request fresh towels. She kept saying I was wrong and grabbed our towels and threw them on the floor. I was shocked that she would behave in this manner and told her this is terrible treatment of your guests.
The next morning I spoke to the morning receptionist (male whose name was Olivio or Oliviano). I explained our experience and asked whether we could cancel the rest of our nights. Unsurprisingly, we would incur the costs for the rest of our stay. He made a comment about the towels— which I explained that at that point the towels were no longer an issue, that the way the receptionist treated us was unwarranted and made us feel uncomfortable.
When I asked for hotel’s manager name, he declined to provide me a name, and when I asked what time he or she would be here, he also refused. I was shocked again by the lack of transparency and accountability. Ran out of space to write. 1/10
