Hazelton Hotel Spa – Privacy Breach and incompetent Management
I recently visited the Hazelton Hotel Spa and was met with an incredibly disappointing and unprofessional experience that reflects a serious decline in the hotel's standards. For years, my husband, in-laws, and I have been loyal guests at the Hazelton Hotel. My in-laws, who frequently stayed at the hotel while visiting us from British Columbia, have completely stopped using the hotel’s services due to this horrific experience.
During my spa visit, I encountered a severe breach of privacy. While in the changing room, a staff member entered abruptly without knocking or any warning, leaving me exposed and deeply uncomfortable. This level of disregard for privacy is absolutely unacceptable in a supposed 5-star establishment.
To make matters worse, when I first attempted to report this incident to management, Miss Bronwen, the spa manager, was nowhere to be found. Despite my attempts to raise the issue, she completely avoided speaking with me. This lack of professionalism speaks volumes about the poor management at this hotel. When I returned to the spa to have my service corrected, Miss Bronwen was present but again completely avoided addressing me, despite knowing full well about the issue.
How is it that a manager, hired to resolve serious matters, simply disappears when accountability is required? If management cannot handle basic guest concerns or provide a direct response to serious incidents, I fail to see how this hotel continues to maintain its 5-star rating.
After this experience, we have completely stopped using the Hazelton Hotel and all of its services. If you value your privacy and expect even a basic level of professionalism, I urge you to reconsider choosing this hotel. The Hazelton no longer represents the high standards it once did, and management’s failure to address serious issues is a glaring example of its decline.
