6.1.09 After a negative experience, Crowne Plaza Today Gurgaon impresses
[Cross-posted] Wow.
That’s all I can say after the Crowne Plaza’s contact with me yesterday. I wasn’t that complimentary about the Crowne Plaza Today Gurgaon hotel during my time in India on my personal blog. The service was a trifle slow for such a top-rated (and expensive) establishment, and I blogged about it, almost in a throwaway fashion. Yesterday, two of the staff—Monica, as well as Nitin Sharma, the assistant director of the food and beverage department—called me to apologize. And this morning, I awoke to find a written apology from Mr Sharma in my email inbox, which I have gratefully accepted. His words: ‘I would like to extend my sincere apologies for the delay in service at the bar. ‘I hope you will accept my apology and give us another opportunity to showcase our hospitality. Once again I am truly sorry for the inconvenience caused. ‘I would request to give us another chance of proving the real hospitality of Crowne Plaza.’ If I wasn’t already enamoured with the high quality of Indian hospitality, I am now. Of course I will be delighted to return to Gurgaon and check out the Crowne Plaza Today once more. This is real customer service in the 21st century. It shows (a) consumer power; (b) the fact that brands are now being steered by audiences and that the legal trade mark owner tends to be a steward steering perceptions; (c) that the Crowne Plaza is willing to engage its customers, safeguard its brand, and help steer those perceptions positively.
