What should have been a pleasant stay was marred by an incident that could have been resolved in a minute but wasn’t.
I accidentally broke a drinking glass in my room. I rang for Housekeeping to come and clear the mess. It took them 30 mins. to do so, but in the meantime they rang me to say I would be charged for breaking the glass. My understanding is that hotels treat such incidents as minor and they would absorb the cost of a broken glass. Anyway, when the cleaner came to my room he was armed with a vacuum cleaner and a plastic bag. He proceed to pick up the broken glass by hand and I told him to use a brush or he could cut himself. He then left and came back with a rag and swept up the glass with it. I thought ‘Gosh, Sheraton can’t afford a brush?” I decided to mention this incident to Customer Services. I sent them 2 emails but, to date, have not received a response. On checking out I mentioned this to the receptionist and he said that it was Sheraton’s policy to charge guests for breaking glasses. I googled this but found that it was not so. Is this a policy of Kuching Sheraton only? Also, i noticed on my first stay there the concierge and his team were most welcoming, friendly and helpful,. But on this 2nd visit I noticed they only attended to VIPs and those who pulled up in Mercs or BMWs, not those in Grab Protons.
I’ll think twice about staying there again.
