Our stay at the Hyatt Regency San Antonio went as we expected from a Hotel with such high standards for customer care, up until our check out date. On the morning of December 21, 2011, around 8:15 am, my roommate and I were finished packing and proceeded to leave our room, which is room number 470, to knock on the door of our traveling partners in room number 462. We were knocking on their door gently to ask if they were ready to meet us in the lobby for check out but out of nowhere the room attendant working on that floor snapped at us and told us, "You need to be quiet! There is no one in there so stop standing here!" complete and utterly shocking, this woman's reaction was absolutely inappropriate, overly exaggerated, and condescending. For guests staying at your hotel, this was not how I wanted to be treated.
On the morning, I am about to check out. We asked for her name and she proceeded to grab her name tag from her shirt and joust it in a forward projecting movement while saying her name "SYLVIA" in a garish and begrudging manner. Unbelievable that someone with this kind of attitude would be left to interact with hotel guests coming and leaving that floor. So anyways, we proceeded to meet our friends in the lobby to check out and move on from that annoying but miniscule situation. After checking out, I walked back to my group of friends who were then standing with two gentlemen from security saying they have been called to confront us because the floor attendant had complained about our confrontation with her. These two security personnel did not make matters any better.
We thought they would be coming to give us some reassurance about the situation but instead they came onto us rather aggressively and one sided. This situation blew up into something much larger than what had started it and the embarrassment of being confronted by 2 aggressive security personnel for false accusations made by a bitter maid was absolutely inappropriate on the part of your hotel. Without listening to both sides of the story, they sided with the floor attendant and made us feel as though we were not even taken seriously as guests of your hotel. Not only did they confront us about the situation in the hallway, they then proceeded to escort us to the front door! We just stayed there for the night, checked out, and now we're being thrown out? For what? Under what terms? with what evidence?
This was completely ridiculous and absolutely wrong on the part of the hotel which is supposed to be a haven of customer care. This trip was supposed to be part of a dream vacation around the United States with my guests from Asia. This is their first time visiting Texas, but what a nightmare that whole Hyatt experience gave us, a headache that dampened the mood for the rest of our time in San Antonio. I could tell that the entire group was affected mentally and emotionally throughout the rest of the day and that is something that cannot be compensated for. I wanted to treat them to a luxurious experience on the River Walk which it definitely started out as when we got there but after dining at your restaurant, drinking at your lounge, sleeping on your bed, we were escorted out the next morning as if we were people from the street. How utterly embarrassing for my guests to be treated like this! I am completely outraged!
