1 /5 zulekha nawaz: Unfortunately the experience I had at Premier Inn Romford Markets was extremely distasteful. I had travelled from Birmingham and booked a hotel and wasnât able to check in until almost 1am. When we reached, an employee called David was at the desk. He was not welcoming at all but nevertheless we tried to check in. He explained that the room was booked for one person although there were 2 of us. I double checked my email confirmation as I thought I had booked for two of us however after seeing the confirmation email I stated that I had made a mistake and would need a room for 2 people. David then proceeded to say âwell thereâs 2 of you so what u going to doâ. We were slightly taken aback and I politely said is it not customer service to now explain what my options are? As I was willing to pay extra if required although however David did not even offer this option. David then raised his voice and became very hostile shouting at us âhow is it my problem, you booked it wrong itâs not my problem so donât accuse me of it being my problemâ. My husband then got annoyed and told him to not raise his voice at us. I asked for a manager and David told us he was the manager, I then asked for whoever was above him and he said there was no one else available. After hearing the commotion, another employee had come out in to the lobby and explained that she was the deputy manager. Her name was Sylvia and we explained that David had just told us he was the manager and that no one else was available which she did not confirm was true. She seemed just as surprised at that information. We explained the issue to Sylvia and she very kindly told David to just provide us with an extra towel and room key to which David continued to argue that we shouldnât be able to stay. Sylvia then proceeded to give us the towel and room key. We were in absolute shock at how we were treated especially at the time of night it was. I highly recommend that David is dismissed as he did not provide any customer service, was extremely rude and is representing Premier Inn poorly. On top of that, he also lied to us about his job role and that no one else was available to deal with us. Very very disappointed overall although grateful for Sylvia for resolving our issue as we would have been stranded with nowhere to stay at 1am.
