Concerns Worth Complaining About

- Clean rooms and bathrooms: This also means there should be no surprises such as bed bugs or other unwelcome insects or rodents.
- Comfortable beds with clean linens and enough pillows.
- Safety: People staying in hotels are away from home, in a strange city, so security is especially important. Hallways should be well-lit and doors and windows should lock securely.
- Amenities: This means different things to different people, but it often means a quiet room, a free selection of coffee and tea, or a pool, if one was promised. Access to food.
- Communication: These days, free, accessible internet service is basic, especially for a business-oriented hotel. People also need sufficient electrical outlets to charge their devices.
- Respectful, responsive customer service.
When these expectations are not met, the disappointed customer needs to file a complaint.
