Poor admin and lack of adherence to own policies.

<p>I booked a stay at the City Lodge Umhlanga for the 02/12/2016 to 04/12/2016. Unfortunately 5 days prior to my stay at City Lodge Umhlanga, my grandmother passed away. On 28/11/2016to notify the reservations desk of my cancelation due to the situation that I was in.</p> <p>On the 29/112016 I again took liberty to email the hotel and I was requested to forward mybanking details ********** The email reads: </p> <p>"Good Morning Mr Mafubelu.</p> <p>Trust my email finds you well.</p> <p>Thank you we did received your banking details and the account will refund you as soon as possible.</p> <p>Kind regards</p> <p>Daisy Shezi"</p> <p>Today is day 8 and i am still waiting to be re-imbursed. I have sent 2 emails on 06/12/2016 and no one has bothered to reply to me.</p> <p>I am utterly dissapointed in the shoddy treatment that I am receiving from this Hotel. When I called the account department today 06/12/2016 I'm told that I was a no-show!!!! How can I be a "no-show" when i have threads of emails to prove that I cancelled well within reasonable timeframe??? I have waited 8 days and that is longer than what your own policies stipulate. Please refund me my money!!!</p>

I was contacted by the Hotel's GM on 7 Dec 2016, and he promised that my refund would be processed right away. He apologised profusely for the reasons that led me to lay a complaint on this platform. My money indeed was processed and I was re-imbursed to the cent the monies that I had paid.

I have always utilized this hotel for my stays (Business and Pleasure) when I have been in the Umhlanga/Durban areas. I will still use CLHG group of hotels in future.
