There was no hot water in the room, the temperature was in the 40´s (F).
1) First lie '- I notified the front desk that there was no hot water. He said that because my reservation came at the last minute and the hotel was nearly empty they had not turned on the hot water heater. The front desk asked me to wait 30 mins. NO RESULTS
2) Second lie - The next morning I notified the cleaning lady that there was no hot water. She said that she would look into it. NO RESULTS
3) Third lie - At the end of the day when returning to the hotel I notified the front desk again of the hot water problem. The front desk said they were repairing the hot water boiler to wait 30 minutes. Then the front desk attendant went to the room next to us and opened the hot-water faucet in the room next door (which we could hear going in our room). After about 40 minutes the front desk attendant said the hot water problem was now solved. NO RESULTS
4? Fourth lie - I met a manager at a nearby math university department. He told me (unprompted by me) that the university does not use The Castillo Santa Cecilia for their guests anymore because they receive lots of complaints about the hot water.... EVIDENCE THAT THIS IS A CHRONIC PROBLEM
4) Fifth lie - After two days without a shower I asked to speak to the manager. She acknowledged that the staff had lied to me in all ocassions that the hot water heater was on, there had been no repairs and that this was a chronic problem. I asked for my money back She said she would refund my money to my credit card later. I left the hotel. NO RESULTS
6) Sixth lie. Since that time, I have not received my refund on my credit card. I have attempted to reach the manager by phone and through the internet booking agent about a dozen times without success. The internet booking agent and the credit card investigatiors were both told that the Actuary had never promissed a credit card refund and that there had been no hot water problem
DONT STAY AT THIS HOTEL UNLESS YOU WANT TO DEAL WITH A PROBLEM OF CHRONIC DECEIT SPONSORED AND ORGANIZED BY MANAGEMENT.
