Hello Again Tom:
In light of your decision [[above]], I would like to recommend that you remove your 100% satisfaction guarantee from your Holiday Inn lobbies and guest rooms. Truthfully, it is false advertising to have your "If you are not 100% satisfied, we will make it right" messaging when that is not what you intend to do for your customers. What I read guaranteed 100% satisfaction. What we received was quite the opposite, as you know if you have read my posts.
I offered to donate the $50 gift certificate you are sending me to Children's Hospital so that a traveling family would have some hotel money when visiting a sick child. I asked you to do one small thing--throw in another $50 so that it would cover a night's stay in one of your facilities in the Atlanta area.
How astounding that your organization chooses not to oblige. What a statement that makes.
Jeneane Sessum
