Hotel Indigo Liverpool staff are rude and aggressive - management are useless and disinterested at the hotel on the hottest…
We arrived at the hotel on the hottest day of the year, over 35c.
My partner was waiting in the car while my son and I checked in.
There were 2 staff at the desk and one other person in front of us.
After about 5 minutes the other person was dealt with in about the space of a minute.
We were then asked to wait while the desk clerk finished of a payment.
The other clerk was still dealing with the same customers.
After about 10 minutes, there was still no movement, so I asked whether her doing admin was more important than dealing with guests.
She could have acknowledged her difficulties and asked us to take a seat or enquired whether we needed anything but no, she was only interested in her own admin.
My other half was outside, baking in the heat.
I was treated with a very aggressive and rude response and she said that she needed to finish with the previous check out before she could deal with me.
I said that it was unacceptable to be left standing there for so long without any reason and I asked to see the manager.
The clerk, Kayleigh, just stormed off, away from the desk, and left us standing there.
Eventually after about 25 minutes we were eventually dealt with by the other clerk.
When I eventually spoke to the manager, she was not apologetic at all.
She was more concerned with the fact that her clerk was upset and that she was having problems with the systems.
We have all heard that excuse before but she could have acknowledged that she was having trouble and dealt with us in a more friendly way.
We both felt like we were more of a nuisance than a guest and the manager’s attitude was appalling.
The next evening we encountered another incident.
My son and I were returning to the hotel after playing some pool in Matthew
Street and we were stopped at the door and asked for ID.
This is fair enough.
However, another group arrived, with suitcases, and were led straight in to the hotel.
I complained and said that I should have been dealt with first as I was there before the other guests.
I was told that that they knew the other guests were checking in so they took priority.
I insisted that this was wrong and we treated with a tirade of abuse and we both felt like criminals.
Ronnie actually squared up to me in a really aggressive manner.
My son thought there was a chance he was going to hit me.
Eventually when the agent, Ronnie, realised what I was complaining about, he calmed down and offered us both a complimentary drink.
This was all a bit too late.
Some of the staff at this hotel are charming and helpful.
However, some are aggressive and rude and let the others down.
The manager dealt with the complaint in an amateurish, uncaring way and was only concerned about her staff.
She asked me what I wanted and I said that the desk clerk should be fired or put on a major training exercise.
She said she would do neither bit and would do something for me.
She never did anything and never acknowledged me or followed up once during the whole stay – she just does not care.
I have stayed at many IHG hotels over the years and have never encountered such shocking service.
Some staff are overly aggressive and should not be customer facing.
The management is out of their depth and out of control.
I also note that there is no record on my account of the 2 bookings and had to get Guest relations to reinstate them. I suspect they were deliberately deleted so I could not leave a review.
I have escalated to Guest Relations who made a takin effort but have not really dealt with the issue
