Ownership should seriously reevaluate the current management team and place qualified individuals in leadership positions who genuinely understand customer service, accountability, professionalism, and respect for all guests. Hotels are in the business of caring for people during stressful situations, and unfortunately this experience reflected the exact opposite. As an Asian family traveling from California to Indianapolis for our children’s graduation, we booked and fully prepaid our stay at Embassy Suites North Indianapolis for May 8–10. Due to unavoidable travel delays, we arrived around 4:00 AM only to be told that our reserved rooms had been given away to other guests. Imagine arriving in another state in the middle of the night, exhausted, with family members and no place to stay despite having confirmed prepaid reservations. It was devastating. The overnight front desk staff were apologetic and told us management would contact us. No one did until the following Monday, when I received a voicemail asking me to call back and speak with a manager named Kevin. Unfortunately, the follow-up experience became even worse than the original reservation failure. When I returned the call expecting professionalism and an apology, Kevin spoke to me in an aggressive and condescending manner. He repeatedly interrupted me, told me I could only speak “when asked,” threatened to hang up, and ultimately did hang up on me despite the fact that I remained calm and respectful throughout
