Loyalty down the drain

<p>I had a very uncomfortable stay at the Fire and Ice In Cape Town. </p> <p> </p> <p>When the booking was made, I requested for a smoking room and upon check in, I was advised that there were no smoking rooms available. I wasn't very happy abt this but I then proceeded to the room and then the aircon was not working properly. I spoke to maintenance on 3 occasion then escalated to the manager and what he then said was that they cannot set it to anything lower as it was set on heat for the entire floor. </p> <p> </p> <p>The manager offered us 50% of the payment back as well as a fan for the room and milkshakes on the house. </p> <p> </p> <p>Now don't get me wrong, I wasn't expecting a free nights stay but why should we complain before we get anything sorted and the fact that the receptionist couldn't come up with a solution like perhaps moving us to one of the Protea hotels in the area, that tells me that this group isn't really solution driven.</p> <p> </p> <p>Not really the best service but we'll see what happens next time </p>
