Dear OutdoorAdventures_70,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding your recent stay at Holiday Inn Suva. We genuinely appreciate your detailed review, which helps us improve in relevant areas.
Firstly, we acknowledge the unique circumstances of your visit during a busy period in Suva.
During this time, to accommodate guest inquiries, we offered rates lower than the market Best Flexible Rate for late arrivals. It seems your booking was for a twin room; all our twin rooms are double/doubles, with an option to connect to a Queen room. Our hotel offers a range of room types, including suites, kings, and queens. We could not find any instances of guests paying a thousand dollars for a twin room during the dates you mentioned. Additionally, we did not receive any reports of power socket plates falling off. We regret any frustration this may have caused and are re-inspecting to identify and rectify any such issue.
In guest rooms, our commitment to environmental sustainability includes utilizing digital platforms for all guest room information and communication, providing bulk amenities, and offering water stations in public areas for guests to refill their bottles, thereby reducing single-use plastic. We also continue to offer complimentary bottled water in guest rooms and are working towards more sustainable solutions. Additionally, the hotel provides guests the option to participate in IHG’s ‘Greener Stay’ program, allowing them to support the environment and earn reward points in return.
Regarding gym access, we have a shared arrangement with our neighbouring property. Gym keys are provided at our reception, and while we understand the inconvenience of carrying an additional key, we are actively seeking ways to streamline this process for our guests. We apologize for the difficulties you faced with accessing both the gym and your room.
During peak times, the front door is managed to ensure in-house guests and customers with reservations are attended to promptly. This information is updated daily on our digital screens. We appreciate your feedback on this matter and will improve communication to enhance the guest experience.
We are sincerely sorry for the wait during your checkout and any perceived lack of professionalism. We offer night-before settlement and express checkout options to expedite this process. Unfortunately, if guests don’t opt for night-before settlement and express checkout, manual checkout at the counter is necessary. We will review our procedures to better manage this in the future.
The traffic control cones in the car park during peak hours are in place to ensure the safety of our guests and to manage entry and exit to the busy street effectively. We apologize if this caused you any inconvenience.
We adhere to strict guest privacy policies and always aim to respond factually and respectfully in public forums. As such, the hotel follows standard response protocols to safeguard guest information.
We deeply regret that your stay did not meet expectations and invite you to contact us directly so we can address your concerns and work towards a resolution. We hope to have the opportunity to provide you with our “true hospitality”.
With best wishes,
General Manager.
