The staff and facilities were great. Rachel reached out to us a couple days before and made our stay wonderful. Thanks again to everyoneBEHIND BARS WITH SAMANTHA:Hotel info:IRD, mystery shoppers, brand knowledge (“For a Better You), environment knowledge, reviews (yelp, TripAdvisor and OUR hotel reviews)Main Course:Hotel Teatro(4.5), Denver, COTripAdvisor (1) Jan 2022Think twice before booking with Hotel TeatroHotel Teatro is rigid in their policies and un-compassionate and inflexible with their customers regarding any changes brought on by Covid outbreaks. They apparently do not value their relationships with their customers, with poor management focused only on profit at any cost.It is incredibly poor management practice, customer service and business principles that Hotel Teatro could not be more compassionate with their customers in regard to unforeseen challenges and adjustments forced by the Covid pandemic on their customers. In our situation, Denver Center for the Performing Arts officially cancelled all shows of Loin King at We liked Hotel Teatro and are incredibly disappointed by their lack of consideration as to the circumstances of our cancellation. It is incredibly poor management practice, customer service and business principles that Hotel Teatro could not be more compassionate with their customers in regard to unforeseen challenges and adjustments forced by the Covid pandemic on their customers.There are many other hotels in the downtown Denver area to consider. Think twice before booking with this hotel.Response from Ronnie Rose, Guest Services / Front Office at Hotel TeatroResponded Jan 7, 2022Hi Susan. We can certainly understand why you are upset about the cancellation policy. As a lover of the theatre as well, I've had to contend a cancelled hotel/flight due to the show I wanted to see cancelling last minute and it was a headache and a half. We here at the Teatro try to make sure that our policy allows for flexibility as much as possible, while still protecting the hotel. As you may imagine, when theatre shows cancel and the hotel receives a flood of cancellations, we experience a loss of revenue that we use to pay our employees who work extremely hard to provide the level of service that you've come to know us for. That is why we do try to enforce the cancellation policy whenever possible. We are not without heart, however. Please call the hotel and ask to speak to Ronnie (the Front Office Manager) to discuss your complaint.DESSERT --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/3starspodcast/message
