How to File a Complaint With Starwood Hotel and Ask for Compensation by Yourself
If you've had an , you can file a complaint. As you might expect, DoNotPay can really help to save you time and effort in doing this, since we have the expertise in filing these kinds of documents to speed up and simplify the process while increasing your odds of getting compensation. If you'd rather try it on your own, though, here's what you can do:
- Identify your issue or issues that you're having/had while staying at the hotel.
- Draft a complaint letter outlining your problems and what, if anything, the staff did to fix things.
- Contact the company and send the letter, or use the letter as a guide when otherwise explaining your problem (like over the phone).
- Provide your information for callback and to prove you stayed at the hotel at the time you did.
- Wait to be contacted again about compensation.
Why It is Hard to File a Complaint on Your Own
As we said, filing a complaint on your own is doable, but it's definitely not ideal. It takes a lot of time to get your complaint processed, and it often results in little. If you get lucky, you'll eventually be compensated with a hotel refund for your problem, but even that could take weeks or more in some cases. This is one of the ways that DoNotPay can really help, since our experience lets us expedite these processes and get you what you're owed that much quicker.
How to Write a Strong Complaint Letter
Writing a strong complaint letter can make the difference between getting compensation and getting nothing at all. If you intend to file a complaint with Starwood Hotels on your own, here's some ideas for what to include:
- Clear and concise descriptions of what happened.
- A firm but friendly tone.
- A list of what you've done to try to get compensation already and how that went.
- Your contact information and information related to your stay.
- State that you'd like a response.
